Outline
Participants will be introduced to foundational ideas in Digital Education and will critically engage with the research and scholarly debates in the field. They will evaluate and use a variety of Digital Education tools and approaches with a view to integrating (or not integrating) them as appropriate to their own discipline and pedagogical approach. Using this knowledge, participants will design (or redesign) some component of their teaching (e.g. learning activities, assessments, or feedback plans) and reflect on their decisions to use (or not use) specific Digital Education ideas and approaches.
Through practical workshops, reflections, discussions, and assessments, participants will gain a foundational knowledge in digital education as well as the confidence to respond to unexpected challenges. Students will reflect on the ways that digital education can support student learning and will articulate their own approach to digital education and rationale for the degree they do (or do not) integrate these approaches into their own teaching.
