Aims

This course is designed to help students acquire essential knowledge about how information technology can be integrated into learning and teaching. Students will explore the theoretical foundations and practical applications of integrating technology into learning and teaching. Students will also examine pedagogical frameworks for effective technology integration, evaluate a range of digital tools and resources, and develop strategies for implementing technology to enhance instruction, student engagement and learning outcomes. Through hands-on activities and a final project, students will gain the knowledge and skills to thoughtfully and effectively integrate technology into their own teaching practices.

Upon completion of this course, students should be able to:

understand and analyse educational theories and frameworks for integrating technologies into teaching and learning;
