Digital Tools for Blended and Interactive Learning
A curated digital toolbox and a clear model for combining online and classroom work.
Course description
There are thousands of educational apps, but only a few make a real difference. This course presents a curated set of tools for interactive lessons, collaboration, feedback and blended learning, and, more importantly, a pedagogical model for choosing and combining them. You will build a blended learning unit for your own subject, learn to create interactive content and short videos, and design online tasks that students actually complete. We look at how Estonian schools organise blended learning and at accessibility and data protection. Suitable for teachers of all subjects and levels who want to move beyond ad-hoc use of digital tools.
