Course Overview
Educational technology (ET) is a broad field of study that encompasses the use of technology to improve teaching and learning. ET practitioners focus on the analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation of instructional environments, learning materials, learners, and the learning process.
Key Concepts
-
Analyze how a range of locally available digital technologies support existing or allow new learning activities.
-
Explore how and why digital technologies can be used within your own practice to support teaching and promote learning.
-
Within your own school context, investigate how learning activities using digital technologies allow students to develop twenty-first-century skills.

- Module 4 - Gamification in LearningGamification in Learning is designed to help teachers understand how game principles can be strategically integrated into the learning environment to increase motivation, persistence, and engagement. This module is delivered over two sessions and provides a clear distinction between Gamification and Game-Based Learning, grounding the content in key motivational theories and practical classroom applications. Through interactive activities, examples, and design tasks, teachers will explore the essential elements of gamification, the psychology behind why it works, and how to design meaningful, curriculum-aligned learning experiences that support student growth and resilience.9
