This course will engage students in authentic learning experiences as they explore an educational challenge in their own context. Students help guide the course focus, through identification and presentation of relevant issues in their own education or training contexts before carrying out an independent project to enhance both their professional practice and the theoretical understandings of educational technology. Drawing on design-based research the course develops a community of practice as students investigate and share effective blended learning practices through collaborative learning and critical reflection. Given the authentic learning focus, the course is suitable for educators in all phases of education and training, including early childhood, schools and industry training and community organisations.
