There is an impressive body of research evidence on how students learn whether they be in preschool, primary school, secondary school, college, university or the corporate sector. This microcredential examines how students learn with digital technologies. Focus is on how behaviourism, cognitivism and constructivism explain how people learn and how educators apply these theories in the learning environment in which digital technologies are employed. An Integrated Theory of Digital Learning (ITDL) is introduced which ties these theories in explaining how students learn effectively and efficiently using digital technologies. Finally, the course examines the principles of digital learning and how it impacts learning design.

Assessment for the microcourse is based on the following:

  • 60% – Work-Based Assignment
  • 40% – Quiz

Duration: 3 Weeks . You need to spend about 1 hour per day

Certification
Upon completion the microcredential and meeting all assessment requirements, participants will be awarded a Certificate of Achievement (CA) by SPEED in collaboration with Asia e University (AeU).
