Unlocking the power of teachers' digital competence: “Innovative teaching and learning strategies”
Digital competence does not solely refer to mastering technology but rather to the way that teachers can use this technology to enhance their professional practice, empower their learners and improve learning outcomes.
The course is now open for self-paced learning.
Description
In the third course of the course series on Unlocking the Power of Teacher Digital Competence, we delve into innovative teaching and learning strategies. Digital technologies can enhance and improve teaching and learning practice in a number of ways. A key skill of teachers is to design learning with the use of digital technologies to help students to engage actively in authentic learning experiences. Advanced practice involves a shift from teacher-led to learner-centred activities.
Learning objectives
As a participant, you will:
- Select and use digital technologies in your learning designs, so as to meet teaching and learning aims,
- Select and employ digital technologies to provide opportunities for students to engage in self-assessment and peer-assessment and the design of their learning,
- Select and employ digital technologies in your learning designs based on their features, so as to enhance and support your students' collaborative learning, in face to face and/or online settings,
- Select and use digital technologies in your learning designs based on their features, so as to facilitate your students' self-regulated learning skills and learner autonomy,
- Select and use emerging technologies in your learning designs to engage your students in novel learning opportunities, while taking into account ethical implications.
Methodology & assessment
There is a later deadline for submitting your final mandatory activity and reviewing your peers, no live sessions, and no required meeting times. While the original course included scheduled discussions, this version allows independent learning with the same materials and guidance.
Forum discussions and Padlet contributions will not be moderated, fostering a fully self-directed experience.
Please note that to receive a certificate you will have to successfully complete the quiz at the end of module 2 and pass the final activity at the end of module 4.
The course is now open for self-paced learning.
Certification details
Upon successful completion of the course, a digital course certificate is awarded. The certificate shows the name of the learner and key course details such as the estimated learning hours, the learning objectives, and a link to the course homepage.
