Module description
This module is aimed at all staff who teach and support learning at St Andrews, regardless of role or contract type, who wish to further their understanding of and engagement with the use of technologies to enhance learning and teaching. The module is designed to allow participants to step back from the delivery of online teaching and to develop a personal philosophy of teaching online through examination of a variety of different stakeholder perspectives (teacher, learner, institution, sector, wider context). It will also provide them with the skills they need to critically evaluate technologies and integrate them appropriately into their practice.
