The next rollout of the Enhancing Digital Teaching and Learning project's 'Getting Started with Personal and Professional Digital Capacity' open course starts on 23rd May.
This is a national, online rollout and it's similar in structure to the UDL badge from AHEAD.
Participants will work in peer groups to develop and practice new skills and plan a digital teaching enhancement for the new academic year. The course is flexible and will run for five weeks and then break for the summer so that participants can work on their digital enhancement and reconvene in August.
The course is open to those who teach in Irish HE and FE.
Participants can earn a digital badge issued by the National Forum.
This 6 unit course is designed to place you on your digital development pathway, by supporting you to reflect on your own strengths, needs and goals in the digital learning environment, as well as those of your students. Using a pedagogy-first approach, you will identify some key areas for personal development in the digital space and use structured tools for planning technology-based learning activities.
