mtl100 Principles, Theory, and Practice of Technology Enhanced Learning

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

1. Describe the special organizational character of educational and research institutions and recognize the tension between them.
2. Develop a basic understanding of the most important frameworks for carrying out organizational activities within technology enhanced learning (TEL) environments.
3. Identify the essential elements for organizational learning and how these elements can be applied to TEL environments.
4. Describe the limitations in attempting to directly control educational organizations and specifically TEL within the organization.
5. Understand and apply the concept of controlling specific contexts, particularly within TEL. 
6. Utilize the most important management tools, as well as understand the conditions and limitations of using the tools.

Bringing together the central concepts of education and organisation creates a fundamental tension within the institution. This conceptual merging occurs against a backdrop of complex economic, technological, and social conditions, thus creating a particularly challenging dynamic that requires effective management of educational and research areas. This course examines the structure, management, and development of educational and scientific organisations, with a focus on the technology-enhanced learning organisation and the structural conditions and management philosophy that must be in place to ensure opportunities for growth within loosely-coupled institutional systems, in particular organisational support structures for the development and implementation of TEL programs.

All course materials will be offered as open educational resources (OER).
