Beschreibung
Digital learning is now an established feature of many courses at the University of Basel. This course builds on the skills you already have by focusing on digital media such as text, images, video, audio, graphics and diagrams, models and simulations, interactive apps and immersive worlds. It covers:
• Pedagogical pros and cons of different media
• Sourcing and producing digital media for students – some practical considerations including use of open educational resources
• Students as digital producers – assessing video essays, data visualizations, infographics, apps, online presentations and more
• Supporting students’ independent learning with digital media
The course will encourage discussion and sharing of ideas. You will reflect on your own teaching practice, your experience of media production, and your understanding of how students learn. We will cover practical considerations such as editing and adapting digital content, and help you to complete a digital media project of relevance to your own teaching. However, this is not a training course in digital production. The focus is on pedagogy and communication design, and you will be encouraged to develop your techniques where this will improve your teaching.
The course will take place online, using our learning platform ADAM and the videoconferencing software Zoom. You will participate in two live seminars of 90 minutes, with tutor input, opportunities for discussion and experimentation. Between these workshops you will carry out a student needs analysis to help you select a digital media project. After the second workshop you will have two weeks to complete your project, with online support from the tutors and a small group of participants. At the end of the three-week course you will share a new teaching resource with your learning group, get feedback, and share what you have learned with the full group of 16 participants.
Requirements for receiving a certificate of attendance:
