Description

As societies shift towards the age of digitalisation, digital education leadership is becoming a growing concern for students, educators and policy makers. This course is designed to study the role of ‘change agents’ in digital education, including teachers and trainers as change agents. Students will explore current issues that are affecting the digital world and reflect on their influence on education and training. Through exploring models of leadership and change, and critical reflection on their own experiences, the course aims to help each student develop as a digital education leader. Students will lead online seminars, conduct field observation and engage in project work to prompt and understand change within their own contexts in an evolving, digitally mediated society.
