Coffee CourseIntroduction to TEL

Technology in teaching: From the basics to the bigger picture

A man sits in front of a computer.Technology has become an integral part of teaching and learning across all types of education, with activities and assessment being conducted online, lectures recorded for later review, and the increasing prevalence of blended and online delivery. But what exactly is “technology-enhanced learning” and how do you do it effectively?

This course will unpack the principles of technology-enhanced learning (TEL) and address common assumptions about TEL with recent research. Participants will learn how to apply these principles to their own teaching practice, and learn strategies to design effective TEL activities.

Course dates

This course ran from Monday, 30 April to Friday, 4 May, 2018 but is accessible online to anyone interested.  There are 5 blog posts (one per day) that will take 10-15 minutes to work through.
