It is intended to help you to think critically about the use of digital technologies to support teaching and assessment, and to support discussions in your teams about whether, when, and how to include digital tools to support teaching. The course is comprised of three seminars and some online material. There is an optional assignment of one and a half higher education credits if you wish to complete it.  

For this course, we are assuming that the purpose of technology in teaching is to improve the educational experiences of both students and teachers. The workshops encourage you to consider this in a strategic way, to ensure that your current use of digital tools is achieving what you want, and to see if there are any gaps you might like to fill.   

Learning outcomes  

At the end of this course, you will be able to:

• decide whether to use digital technologies in your programme or course
• decide which digital technologies will be effective in enhancing your programme or course
• prepare a short reflection on your approach which can be added to a teaching or promotion portfolio (optional)
