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.
