All IOE staff can learn more about using technologies in teaching in seven short online courses developed by Epigeum.

What is 'Learning Technologies online'?

Learning Technologies online comprises seven courses / 10 hours of training for faculty who want to utilise the power of learning technologies in their teaching. The highly inspirational courses contain a wealth of video case studies, dramas and simulations. They are ideal as an online reference tool for anyone on campus who needs instant help.

The courses were developed in conjunction with 18 universities and a host of well-known international experts including Professor Ray Schroeder (Springfield-Illinois), Larry Ragan (Penn State), Diana Laurillard (Institute of Education, University of London), Caroline Haythornthwaite (Urbana-Champaign) and Terry Anderson (Athabasca). The IOE's Learning Technologies Unit has also contributed to the materials.
