Synopsis
This course explores the integration of educational technologies to enhance teaching and learning experiences. Anchored in the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework and constructivist learning theories, the course guides participants through hands-on exploration of a spectrum of technologies (collaborative tools, digital content creation, generative AI, and immersive technologies) to support pedagogical outcomes and generate insights to support learner engagement and achievement. By the end of the course, participants will develop skills to design and implement data-informed, technology-enhanced learning experiences to engage learners through continuous improvement and pedagogical innovation.
