Educational Technology

In this five-week course, educators will explore several different online learning tools, and ideas that will engage students in a variety of ways during blended/hybrid, remote, and in-person classroom learning. Educators will be motivated and trained to use a wide range of educational tools in teaching to provide better interaction with students, better reception and retention of information and strategies to motivate students to work independently. This course includes a collection of online tools that will set individual learning pathways for students based on their needs, their interests, or learning levels.

The COVID-19 pandemic affected almost every area of the world, and education was no exception. Perhaps, it was one of the most affected sectors, with not just short but long-term consequences. However, technology seems to be the one element connecting teachers and students amid the crisis and is expected to continue playing a major role in the educational landscape. Therefore, improving teachers’ technological skills will ensure continuation of the educational process in spite of the current circumstances and beyond. This course is therefore, a vital step towards educational agility.

• Create enjoyable and interactive learning experiences for students
• Tailor teaching styles to meet students’ individual needs
