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.
Some of the assumptions that underpin current classroom practice will be challenged through critical reflection and exploring new models of learning. Participants will also explore online instructional design practices and theories through discussion, reflection and practical activities in the design of blended learning approaches.
