Course Modules Overview
This part of the portfolio will give you an overview of the different modules of the online course. Completion of the course should result in the achievement of the following learning outcomes:
Pedagogical considerations: Evidence available? Overall: I can choose relevant resources using the VITAE approach for any planned learning activity including ICT tools where these are the most appropriate.
1. Information sources: I can help my students find and evaluate relevant information including pictures, maps, sound and video from ICT sources as well as traditional sources. (eg RSS, Wikipedia)
2. Information storage: I can help my students store information in digital form such as blogs, wikis, podcasts or portfolios (eg so it is accessible at home, on the move and to external experts/advisors)
3. Communication: I can help my students communicate synchronously and asynchronously through text, voice and video
4. Documentation: I can author online spaces to document learning events and facilitate student use of this material afterwards. (e-portfolio, screencasts, class blog/wiki)
5. Safe use: I can help my students use online applications safely (eg online identity, privacy, trustworthiness)
6. Group work: I can facilitate online group working, using methods such as complex instruction 7. Learning: I can identify the learning outcomes expected from the use of specific ICT tools in a specific learning activity. 8. Assessment: I can identify how the learning outcomes of ICT related activities will contribute to student assessment and use appropriate rubric tools to record this. Professional development & mentoring 9. Planning: I have made a plan for my continuing professional development in the appropriate use of ICT in my teaching. 10. Documentation: I have documented the use of an interactive internet tool so that others can benefit from my experience 11. Sharing: I have tried at least one way of sharing my ICT experience with colleagues either internally or externally. 12. Local context: I have identified the possibilities and limits to the use of interactive Internet tools in my institution. 13. Portfolio: I have started or added to an existing e-portfolio 14. Evaluation: I have evaluated the outcomes of my amended teaching session and documented this in my e-portfolio. 15. Mentoring: I have started a concrete coaching relationship with at least one colleague.
Module 1: The way we do things round here
Description of the module: In this module you will examine the VITAE learning outcomes and identify which are the most relevant to you. You will also generate a statement of your current ICT integration skills. As a digital newcomer you may find some differences in the way you have done things up to now and the way you could do them in the future. Learning Outcomes:
3. Communication: I can help my students communicate synchronously and asynchronously through text, voice and video
4. DocumentationI can author online spaces to document learning events and facilitate student use of this material afterwards. (e-portfolio, screencasts, class blog/wiki)
9. Planning: I have made a plan for my continuing professional development in the appropriate use of ICT in my teaching.
Module 2: Our values and beliefs about teaching & learning
Description of the module: What you do in the classroom is based on your values and beliefs about what makes for effective learning. The activities will reveal your teaching style. The options you choose in the simulated coaching session will also reveal aspects of your values and beliefs about teaching.
Learning Outcomes: 3. Communication: I can help my students communicate synchronously and asynchronously through text, voice and video
4. Documentation: I can author online spaces to document learning events and facilitate student use of this material afterwards. (e-portfolio, screencasts, class blog/wiki)
Module 3: Preparing for the journey: Camera and diary, vaccinations (coaching tools, e-portfolio) Description of the module: We will be introduced to the most common coaching model, GROW, which you can use with your colleagues. You will find out about a tool which could be used to record your skills and successes, the portfolio. Learning Outcomes: 4. Documentation: I can author online spaces to document learning events and facilitate student use of this material afterwards. (e-portfolio, screencasts, class blog/wiki)
7. Learning: I can identify the learning outcomes expected from the use of specific ICT tools in a specific learning activity
8. Assessment: I can identify how the learning outcomes related activities will contribute to student assessment and use appropriate rubric tools to record this. 13. Portfolio: I have started or added to an existing (e-)portfolio
Module 4: Their values and beliefs: Culture clashes Description of the module: How are the values and beliefs of digital natives different? What sort of cultural clashes can that lead to? You will find out about at least two cases where the behaviour of digital natives has led to conflict. Learning Outcomes: 5. Safe use: I can help my students use online applications safely (eg online identity, privacy, trustworthiness) Module 5: Speaking with Natives - How they do things over Description of the module: You are now going to meet some digital natives who will show you examples of how they have integrated digital resources into their teaching by using a virtual meeting tool.
Learning Outcomes: 11. Sharing: I have tried at least one way of sharing my ICT experience with colleagues either internally or externally.
Module 6: Let's try a few of their 'dishes' and 'customs' (learning to use some of the tools) Description of the module: This module will be the main part of your journey, where it is time to try out some of dishes and customs. We have already used some of the most important digital tools for education in this course (LMS, e-portfolio, blog, podcast). You will now have some ideas about which tools might prove useful in your chosen teaching session. Here are some examples of key learning situations and some tools which could be used:
access to information (Internet, wiki, blog, people)
managing information (RSS, aggregators, iGoogle)
documenting learning (blog, wiki, video, podcast, e-portfolio)
the learning process (PLE network & e-portfolio, the experience of being a digital learner, group processes)
Learning Outcomes: 1. Information sources: I can help my students find and evaluate relevant information including pictures, maps, sound and video from ICT sources as well as traditional sources. (e.g. RSS, Wikipedia) 2. Information storage: I can help my students store information in digital form such as blogs, wikis, podcasts or portfolios (e.g. so it is accessible at home, on the move and to external experts/advisors) 3. Communication: I can help my students communicate synchronously and asynchronously through text, voice and video 4. Documentation: I can author online spaces to document learning events and facilitate student use of this material afterwards. (e-portfolio, screencasts, class blog/wiki) 5.

Group work: I can facilitate online group working, using methods such as complex instruction 10. Documentation: I have documented the use of an interactive internet tool so that others can benefit from my experience
Module 7: What do I want to take home with me? (transforming a teaching session) Description of the module: It is now time to decide which souvenir to take from your journey and how you will get it. In this session you will work on your chosen teaching session to make it more engaging and differentiated through the use of digital tools. You will coach and be coached in this process. Learning Outcomes: 7. Learning: I can identify the learning outcomes expected from the use of specific ICT tools in a specific learning activity. 8. Assessment: I can identify how the learning outcomes of ICT related activities will contribute to student assessment and use appropriate rubric tools to record this.
Module 8: Telling the folks back home, helping them prepare for the journey (trying out the new teaching session, sharing experience with others, mentoring colleagues) Description of the module: Now it's time to go home, to try the new dishes, to tell your family and the neighbours about your travels and to make sure that you practice the language and customs so that you don't forget them. You will now have a period in which to test out your new teaching session and build up your personal learning environment. At the end of the period you will present what you have done in a mini-online conference to your course colleagues. Learning Outcomes: 11. Sharing: I have tried at least one way of sharing my ICT experience with colleagues either internally or externally. 12. Local context: I have identified the possibilities and limits to the use of interactive Internet tools in my institution. 14. Evaluation: I have evaluated the outcomes of my amended teaching session and documented this in my e-portfolio. 15. Coaching plan: I have identified one or more colleagues for whom I can be a coach. Together we have identified the professional development needs of these colleagues.
