Unlocking the power of teachers' digital competence: “Harnessing digital resources for effective teaching”
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 second course of the course series on Unlocking the Power of Teacher Digital Competence, we focus on effectively helping teachers identify recourses that best fit their needs, their teaching style, and their learners. At the same time, we'll assist teachers in modifying and adapting resources to meet their exact requirements, learn how to share them responsibly, protect sensitive data, manage content ethically and respect copyright rules.
Learning objectives
As a participant, you will:
- Analyse and select digital resources based on criteria that need specific teaching and learning aims,
- Apply design principles and process es to create digital resources to meet teaching and learning,
- Select existing digital resources, taking into consideration copyright and distribution licences, to modify and adapt them to meet teaching and learning aims,
- Define and apply protection and security measures for the storage, management and access of digital content,
- Select and apply copyright licences when sharing digital resources you create, supporting open educational resources.
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.
