DIGITAL PEDAGOGY FOR TEACHERS, LECTURERS, TUTORS AND TRAINERS

The Digital Pedagogy Skills Course is offering practical digital skills to teachers, lecturers, teaching professionals and trainers of trainees in facilitating digital learning. This course will help teachers and all educators in the purposeful application of new technologies to enhance teaching and learning using ICTs. It will help you as a teacher transform how you approach and think about teaching using available ICT for education tools in order to amplify learning and develop your own digital learning materials, improve your content access & interactivity while keeping your value in the education cycle at the top level. New ‘Digital’ Pedagogies have emerged which  have shifted the focus of teaching away from teaching to learning, content delivery to interaction, face-to-face towards an online, interactive, constructionist pedagogy, which can be led by the student, as much as the teacher.

The course makes a case for adoption of education technologies and new ways of teaching for better learning experiences and outcomes. At the end of the course, you will get a Certificate in Digital Pedagogy Skills from Makerere University if you obtain the necessary pass mark of 60% in the assignments, tests and project.

    Digital pedagogy course has been such an interesting course as it is a course that has enabled us to copy with the technology in the 21st century. However:; I want to credit the digital pedagogy course for enabling us to discover new ways of teaching, coaching, mentoring without necessarily having the teacher present.
