Students will on average spend 150 hours over the teaching period undertaking the teaching, learning and assessment activities for this unit.
Collaborative and interactive learning activities will be undertaken via FutureLearn each week throughout the unit
This unit examines principles and theories of digital learning, including the role of digital technologies in contemporary educational contexts. A broad range of digital learning strategies are presented through case studies to analyse how these approaches are aligned with learning outcomes, assessment and learning activities. Specific attention is given to the use of digital learning strategies that promote active, equitable and personally engaging learning experiences for learners from diverse backgrounds. Participants are asked to design and reflect on a digital learning intervention for their own professional context which demonstrates their understanding of relevant educational theories. Participants reflect on their own practice and also provide peer feedback to other participants enrolled in the unit, in order to develop critical thinking and evaluative judgement skills.
