Wednesdays, September 22 to November 24 via Moodle

In this ten-week program, participants will have the opportunity to explore a wide range of technologies available to support teaching and learning at TRU including: podcasting, WordPress, H5P, Sli.do and Twine. Participants will uncover ethical issues and other considerations regarding using technology in classroom and will learn how to ensure the technology they use is accessible and why accessible technology is important. Participants will be encouraged to learn by doing; emphasis will be on creating materials and learning experiences which should be for use in their current or future teaching practice.
