Notes to Lecturer

The purpose of this lecture is to build on from Unit 1 which focused on teaching. This unit should provide an overview of how ICT can support the learning process. Ideally, the learning envisaged here emanates from Didactic teaching, i.e. processing and monitoring. There should, therefore, be an emphasis on students demonstrating that they have learned something from the teacher’s initial stimulus. An accessible way to achieve this is to look at ways of using the tools in Office Suite software.

This lecture looks at a set of strategies the participants could be encouraged to use in order to exploit ICT to enhance the learning process. Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences theory is used here to provide an opportunity for both teacher and students to use different tools to present and demonstrate content and learning in a Didactic manner.
