418021P Designing Technology-Enhanced Learning, 6 cr

Objective
Students become familiar with the key concepts, competing theories and approaches of designing Technology-Enhanced Learning (TEL). In collaboration with international students they will develop practical skills of setting up, implementing and evaluating the use of distributed set of integrated TEL systems and tools, and they will design a prototype of an advanced TEL course. This course will be implemented in international collaboration.

Content

• Technology-Enhanced Learning (TEL) concept
• Designing TEL: design process, selection of technology, constructing TEL environment
• Implementing TEL
• Evaluating TEL

Learning objectives

• Students will be capable to describe characteristics of TEL
• Students will be capable to define main stages of designing TEL
• Students will be proficient to design and implement pedagogically well-grounded web-course
• Students will be competent to assess pedagogical use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT).
