This 12-week course covers the use of digital technology in the classroom and its impact on teaching methodology. Over the course of the semester, students will learn how to create digital presentations, video tutorials, online assessments, and design a web-based learning environment. They will apply these skills in their teaching practice and receive feedback. The course aims to establish how technology changes classroom dynamics and enables independent learning outside of class. Students will be continuously assessed through class participation, assignments, and the development of their web-based learning environment.

Review of unit and
WBLE
In the last week time should be spent reviewing the processes
learnt, how they have linked with other areas in TR5 and how they
may be used later in the future modules and potentially the
bachelor thesis. In addition students should be allowed time if
possible to present their work to their peers for feedback and
constructive understanding
