Programme overview
This programme is designed for individuals from diverse educational backgrounds and establishments, from teachers and lecturers in schools and colleges, to ICT specialists working to support learning in both school and 'non-school' sites such as museums, education advisory services and at government level.
The world of education is changing rapidly as new technologies are introduced: we are increasingly seeing the use of ICT for a wide range of purposes in educational settings - from supporting teaching, learning and communications, through administration, to putting teachers and learners in contact with each other around the globe. This programme will support you through this rapidly changing world, prepare you for further research and provide a firm foundation for developing your career in Education and ICT.
