This Teachers' ICT in Education Course is predominately competency based. Theory and specific technology skills covered here are merely components necessary to achieve the following larger objective:

Create an educational environment within schools where ICT are used seamlessly by both educators and students in the pursuit of either quality teaching or engaged learning. ICT is also used to leverage high levels of administrative effectiveness and productivity.

To this end a suggested assessment strategy is formulated here. The strategy is made up of formative portfolio tasks and a summative test or examination at the end of each cycle: Technology Literacy and Knowledge Deepening.

Portfolio tasks, identified by the icon on the right, have been selected from amongst the various activities that make up individual units. They have been selected because they most closely represent opportunities where learners have mastered the UNESCO ICT CFT competencies. Where possible a suggested mark allocation has been allocated to the task.

Examination opportunities exist at the end of each cycle. These demo papers test understanding of various theories and knowledge but also investigate a learner’s ability to apply them. A memo has been included. These documents can either be used for real summative assessment or for revision purposes.
