mtl100 Principles, Theory, and Practice of Technology Enhanced Learning

At the end of the course module, students should be able to:

1. Articulate a foundational understanding of diversity, social justice, equity, and inclusion within the context of open and distance learning (ODL)
2. Understand how one is affected by and participates in maintaining systems of oppression, power, and privilege.
3. Integrate knowledge of the module’s foundational concepts into one’s own higher education practice, specifically within technology enhanced learning (TEL) environments.
4. Assess current or future diversity services and requirements within TEL environments.
5. Analyze the importance of diversity management within the institutional system as a whole.
6. Assess how diversity management depends on a variety of contextual variables, including country, culture, laws, and institutional regulations and policies.

This course will explore aspects of diversity (cultures, disabilities, social backgrounds, etc.) and its role as a central task in curriculum development, teaching, research, IT, administration, and education in general. Topics will include theories, context, and dimensions of diversity, as well as issues and strategic implementation of diversity within technology enhanced learning environments.

All course material will be made available as open educational resources (OER).
