Overview
This Open Course seeks to help participants explore the impact of digital technology on teaching and learning and what those impacts might mean for policy development.
The Open Courses is divided into six topics. Topics one to five are online and consist of an introductory video and reading and viewing activities. Online discussion boards are used in each of the first four topics to allow participants to share views on the ideas and concepts raised with other participants and the badge facilitator. Topic six consists of a half-day face-to-face facilitated workshop that involves group and individual activities
