FET4640 Teaching and Learning in a Flexible Environment (FOEDU)

Units 1.0 (Teacher Educ: Vocational Educa) Band 5

Students cannot gain credit for the same program for FET3210 and FET4640. As the assessments in this course are context-based, it is necessary that participants have a sound appreciation of or access to an actual instructional situation in a formal education, community or industry setting. State law in Queensland (Australia) requires that all adults working/undertaking professional experience/researching with children under the age of 18, in the state of Queensland are required to possess a current suitability card (Blue Card). (See "Other Requirements" for further information.) Also see: http://www.childcomm.qld.gov.au/employment/bluecard/informationSheets.html.

Synopsis

Flexible learning is fast becoming a key agenda of those involved in education and training contexts. Participants will identify the key elements which underpin a successful flexible teaching and learning within online environments, and analyse potential barriers and opportunities within their context. Participants will plan and create an online learning module or unit relevant for their educational context. In addition they will participate in online dialogue and critically evaluate and give feedback about the flexible environments created by their peers.
