There is currently a strong interest in the potential for online technologies to support and enhance learning and teaching at all tertiary levels. There are many ways to make use of online technologies. The most effective ways are likely to involve considering approaches to learning and teaching so that methods that make the most effective use of the technologies, or are most effectively enhanced by the technologies, can be adopted. This course considers the rationale for using online technologies in learning and teaching, and a range of approaches to educational design using techniques such as developing learning activities, online discussion and collaboration, and formative evaluation in project development. Participants will have the opportunity to consider theoretical issues in online learning, and a range of practical applications that have a basis in appropriate theoretical issues. Assessment will be based on a project that the participant will develop for use in a teaching program.
