As a teacher, I felt that technology was a key part of engaging and motivating learners in my classroom, therefore I felt that I needed to ensure my skill set was of a level that would benefit and develop the learners in my classroom. This is why I think that the Digital Learning Practitioner course is perfect for people in the education sector.
The course has knowledge based units that look at theories and methodologies to develop the understanding of the practitioner. It also has hands-on modules that develop the skills of the learner, looking at things such as the Online and Blended Learning and Development Environment, as well as bringing in inclusive facilitation into digital learning.
The optional units available gives the practitioner a clear pathway to work on the skills they are most interested in. Having just introduced VR headsets to my classroom, the Immersive Technologies in Digital Learning and Development would have been perfect for me to understand how immersive technologies are currently used in digital learning and development within schools.
I always felt graphic design was a weak point in my skill set, and a module looking in detail at this, developing my understanding of the factors which may affect quality in graphic and visual design, along with the different options available online to support me, would have been of great help.
Alongside the studies, the Inspire workshops are there to add added value to the learning experience, looking at things such as accessibility and collaborative tools, which would be of massive benefit for a teacher in the classroom.
