Unlocking the power of teachers' digital competence: “Empowering learners”
Digital competence does not solely refer to mastering technology but rather to the way that teachers can use this technology to enhance their professional practice, empower their learners and improve learning outcomes.
The course is now open for self-paced learning.
Description
In the fourth course of the course series on Unlocking the Power of Teacher Digital Competence, we focus on ways to empower learners. Using digital technologies can help teachers to create innovative learning experiences, resulting in learners becoming more actively engaged. Digital technologies can be used by teachers to personalise learning and tailor it according to individual learners’ levels, interests and needs. However, it is important to avoid amplifying inequality, for example in terms of learner access to technology or lack of skills. Accessibility for all learners is crucial, including those with special educational needs.
Ƶing objectives
As a participant, you will:
- Select and employ digital technologies in your learning design, to develop inclusive learning activities and accessible resources according to your students’ needs and capabilities,
- Select and employ digital technologies in your learning designs based on their features, to develop personalised learning environments,
- Select and employ digital technologies in your learning designs to foster students’ active engagement in individual and collaborative learning,
- Analyse digital technologies based on their features and employ them in your learning designs to support distance and blended learning.
Methodology & assessment
There is a later deadline for submitting your final mandatory activity and reviewing your peers, no live sessions, and no required meeting times. While the original course included scheduled discussions, this version allows independent learning with the same materials and guidance.
Forum discussions and Padlet contributions will not be moderated, fostering a fully self-directed experience.
Please note that to receive a certificate you will have to successfully complete the quiz at the end of module 2 and pass the final activity at the end of module 4.
The course is now open for self-paced learning.
Certification details
Upon successful completion of the course, a digital course certificate is awarded. The certificate shows the name of the learner and key course details such as the estimated learning hours, the learning objectives, and a link to the course homepage.
