Pedagogy Courses for Teaching Staff

This course is designed to assist teachers, to incorporate ICT technology in their courses, moving towards what is now called a Bended Learning model which integrates online digital resources with classroom teaching.. Participants will develop a short online course on the Moodle learning management system.
