Using Technology in Education - Introduction

Have you ever wanted to find out more about using technology to support teaching and learning? This short course will introduce you to aspects of Educational Technology used to design and develop learning materials in order to improve teaching and learning. You will be learning how to make your lessons more interactive for example through the use of educational games and quizzes; how to convert your existing paper-based handouts into interactive documents or how to use QR codes to enhance students' engagement with technology and embed sustainability . Once you have completed the course, you will have the opportunity to discuss with the course tutor the most appropriate progression routes onto further Teacher Training courses.

Please be prepared to provide your residency documents such as a passport, EU citizen ID card, UK Birth Certificate or Biometric Card. If you have been in the UK for less than 3 years or have entered the UK with a visa you will need to provide evidence that you are eligible to study in the UK - your visa, your biometric card that covers the duration of your course or any relevant home office documents to support your residency should all be uploaded. If you’re an EU, EEA or Swiss citizen we will need to see evidence of 'Pre-Settled' or 'Settled-status' documents. Also for funding purposes we would need to see evidence of payslips if working (within the last 3 months). If you are receiving benefits (e.g JSA, ESA, Universal Credit (UC), Housing benefits etc. please bring evidence of this).
