This subject will support participants to develop teaching strategies that meet the needs of all students through the use of carefully evaluated and selected digital tools. Current research is used to inform the evaluation of technology tools for educational use and their effectiveness for student learning. This subject takes a pedagogical approach to technology integration in educational settings, and focuses on how digital technologies can support personalisation in learning and assessment, linked to a clinical approach to teaching. Participants will learn to use digital technologies safely and effectively within educational settings.
