Course Pre-requisite: BASIC TECHNOLOGY REQUIREMENTS This course will require the items listed below: Computer: It's essential to have consistent access to a laptop with enough memory and computing power. Accessing coursework, downloading huge files, using media programmes, and using synchronous meeting software are all common computer functions. Auxiliary Equipment: use of a USB headset and webcam for video-based communication. On a course-by-course basis, the faculty may impose these requirements. Internet Access: It is necessary to have dependable access to high-speed internet. For downloading large files, there shouldn't be any limiting data limits on this access. Software : Zoom, Java, the most recent version of Adobe Flash Player, anti-virus software, and media players for both audio and video are all
- 4. included. The curriculum for the course will include a list of any course- specific software. Learning Management System: The majority of courses make use of Canvas by Instructure and the online learning management system Laulima. To view orientations and lessons for Canvas and Laulima. This course requires some skills on the first day of class: Ability to create folders/directories Ability to find files Ability to save files to removable media Ability to use a web browser and search the Internet Ability to bookmark web pages for future reference Ability to play audio and video files Familiarity with a word processing program Familiarity with a spreadsheet program Familiarity with a computer operating system (Windows or MacOS) Have and use an email account Ability to send and receive email attachments Ability to troubleshoot basic technology issues 7. Content: Through a variety of instructional techniques and procedures, education entails empowering and enhancing a students's mind and enabling them to face the outside world. Education was previously delivered using a rather conventional
- 5. approach. However, as technology has advanced over the years, it has been increasingly difficult to find the traditional methods of disseminating knowledge. As a result, a variety of technical approaches have been implemented to make learning more effective. The use of hardware and software as well as scientific approaches and techniques to further educational objectives constitute educational technology as a whole. Thus, technology is essentially used as a tool and a medium to improve the teaching and learning process. Five Components Of Educational Technology: 1) HARDWARE Hardware components in instructional technology include mechanical tools, supplies, and electronic gadgets. Since all physical materials employed in the learning process fall under this category, it can be said that this is a result of how far technology has come in the modern day. Electronic devices including projectors, computers, laptops, televisions, and movies make up the hardware portion of educational technology. 2) SOFTWARE This requires applying research from the numerous required academic subjects in a scientific and methodical manner. It comprises all concepts, texts, guidelines, software, and video clips used in the instruction process and distributed via the hardware, to put it simply.
- 6. Learning resources, teaching models, teaching techniques, preprogrammed instructions, and evaluation tools are all types of software tools. Hardware device development uses software technologies. 3) METHOD AND IMPLIMENTATION Knowledge is transmitted through microteaching, programmed learning, tailored systems of education, team teaching, and evidence-based learning, with the inclusion and application of suitable equipment, techniques, and instruments. By facilitating the use of cognition, memory, and senses, various approaches and processes are implemented, which improves teaching methods and leads to better learning results. 4) MAN POWER AND MANAGEMENT Undoubtedly, human resources are used to handle educational technology. Education technology cannot be used at all without sufficient human resources. To plan, deliver, and oversee the entire learning process, experts with vast expertise of many fields and domains come together. 5) EVALUATION AND CONTINUOUS INNOVATION A constant evaluation is crucial from time to time to examine and assess how the entire process is operating. Only if the use of the new technology is evaluated continuously and improved will learning outcomes be relevant. It is essential to constantly investigate and experiment with new tools and technology. A review of the learning outcomes should be
- 7. conducted, and as needed, adjustments should be made to the approach or flaws should be addressed. 8. Materials: Printed materials, Websites, etc 9. Methodology/Teaching strategies: Lectures: Lectures can be used to assist students quickly learn words, fundamental information, and straightforward concepts. It is the easiest technique for educators and needs no preparation. The students receive listening instruction from it. It offers a chance for improved topic elucidation and places emphasis on important themes. It provides a personal touch and connection to impress or sway the students. Tutorial: You can interact more actively with the course material during tutorials. They offer a much better chance than most lectures to get to know your instructors and fellow students. In the tutorial system, regular, extremely small-group sessions serve as the primary mode of instruction. Presentations: Students gain public speaking skills through presentations, a talent that can be used in a variety of professional settings. They gain knowledge on how to create materials for public presentations (using animation and powerpoint), and practise (particularly with feedback) enhances their public speaking abilities. In order to reach the audience and overcome the lack of liveliness in communication, technology will be used
- 8. in presentations. High-tech should be used in the presentation as well as to build a convincing pitch. Gamified learning: Gamification in education refers to the use of game- based components such as point scoring, peer competition, teamwork, and score tables to increase student engagement, aid in the assimilation of new material, and assess their level of knowledge. Integrated social media: Social media encourages autonomous research and decision-making, preparing pupils for life after school. These social media abilities can be led and improved to yield superior learning outcomes and critical awareness when they are reinforced in a classroom setting. Gather student feedback Create digital content Discussion 10. Assessment Methods and Types: 1) Online exam: Fixed exam: has a start and end time as displayed on schedule (starts 8 am- 11 am) 40 % 2) Quizzes: Quizzes are provided at the middle and end of learning after the topic has been taught. This aims to further strengthen students' understanding of the topic when they make revisions to answer the quiz. 10% (5% each quiz)
- 9. 3) Coursework (ePortfolio) and Class presentation: Given a case study or situation for students to provide an online portfolio. with this they will select and apply the appropriate technology in their assignments in line with what is being learned. Then, students need to present their work also using the latest technology (power point, canva, etc). Course work : 30%, Class presentation: 20% 4) Main references: Alves, C. C. D. F., Monteiro, G.
