Unit Description

This unit examines the drivers and agendas for integrating ICT in teaching and learning and how ICT can enhance and enrich learning experiences. The unit examines a range of issues and challenges associated with using ICT in education, particularly related to social, educational, legal, ethical cultural and equity issues and how schools and teachers can respond to prevent or address these issues and challenges in order to develop safe, responsible and ethical use of ICT by students in and beyond school contexts.
