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 a flexible learning course 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.
