EDT5019 ICT in Education
EDT 5019, ICT in Education is a graduate level course that covers the theories, frameworks, and practices of computer- and web-based applications in various instructional settings, paradigms, theories and research regarding the use of technologies in teaching. Throughout the course, we will explore miscellaneous technology options and their implementation in teaching and learning. The first weeks of the course will prepare you with the foundational information in the area of Computer assisted instruction, while the rest of the course will combine research and practical information in teaching different areas and skills with CAI technologies. In this course, students will also gain practical experience in pedagogical applications of computers, including using and evaluating various software, websites, and Web 2.0 tools.
