Position paper on promoting critical thinking in face-to-face learning through use of ICTs
Leslie Davis, Memorial University of Newfoundland
Problem

Educators must effectively employ, and encourage participation in ODFs by identifying, scaffolding and facilitating higher order thinking skills and dispositions in all learners.
