Information and Communication Technologies and Education - EDUC261

This unit is subject to a quota. Limited places are available. Please refer to the Faculty for further information

This unit considers ways in which information and communication technology is changing education. It is particularly concerned with issues related to the use of technology in the classroom: how to successfully select and apply learning technologies to achieve intended learning outcomes; the new literacies that educational technologies create; and appropriate pedagogies for the contemporary global classroom. Practical application of these understandings is developed through a series of skills-based workshops that focus on how to effectively design learning tasks using the contemporary technological approaches being discussed.
