  Purpose
  Technology advances change the way we work and live and, inevitably, the way we teach and learn. In this module we will explore pedagogies – that is, practice grounded in theory – for online teaching and learning environments. We will start the module by establishing how people learn and what teaching should be like to help people learn. In order to do this, we will explore principles on which the main learning theories are based and then examine their implications for the design of learning experiences. From here our attention turns to online teaching and learning. The availability of information and information technologies, which we will refer to as educational technologies to define our focus, changed the way educators think about the consumption and construction of knowledge. Hence, we will reflect on the unique characteristics of educational technologies and how these can be harnessed for teaching and learning.
  Please note that this module is tied closely to Online Teaching and Learning (Technology) where you will implement the pedagogical insights you gain here by using actual educational technologies in a way that maximises learner success. You will also return to the assessment activities you designed in this module when you participate in Online Teaching and Learning (Assessment) to critique and improve on what you have done.
  
  Learning outcomes
  Once you’ve completed the learning activities for this module, you should be able to:
  Outline and explain the notion of a broad online teaching pedagogy.
  Outline and explain the notion of an online collaborative learning pedagogy.
  Integrate online materials and assessment activities to achieve intended learning outcomes in a given teaching context.

  Purpose
  This module will guide you in designing assessment activities for a distance mode of delivery. You will develop your understanding of assessment methods and assessment processes so that you can improve your own assessment practice. This is critically important as an educator because it is widely accepted that assessment plays a major role in determining the learning behaviour of students, i.e. assessment drives learning. You will also be guided in the evaluation of a programme.
  
  Learning outcomes
  Once you’ve completed the learning activities for this module, you should be able to:
  Demonstrate knowledge of higher education assessment theory and practice.
  Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the integration of content, outcomes and assessment in higher distance education.
  Discuss challenges relating to assessment of student learning in higher distance education.
  Monitor the effectiveness and success of academic programmes by means of appropriate assessment tools.

  Purpose
  Higher Education requires that we plan and design our curricula in an evidence-based manner. In this module we will explore the importance of adapting the process of curriculum design to the unique requirements of online learning. While similarities exist in residential and distance education programmes, it is critical that we understand the role that learning theories such as social learning, constructivism and andragogy plays in our planning and implementation of online/distance education programmes. Using specific curriculum development and evaluation frameworks, we will guide you through a process as you develop your own curriculum.
  
  Learning outcomes
  Once you’ve completed the learning activities for this module, you should be able to:
  Understand the theoretical foundation of a distance/online curriculum.
  Critically review existing curricula in a higher education context for alignment with the concepts, theories, models, approaches, and organisational principles of curriculum development for online learning.
  Demonstrate the ability to plan, design and develop a segment of a curriculum, integrating online technologies with principles of distance learning development.
  Evaluate the quality of an online curriculum segment.
  Prepare a curriculum implementation plan.
