This course focuses on experimenting with digital approaches to teaching in face to face, blended and fully online environments. You’ll start by deepening your understanding of copyright, statutory education licences and Creative Commons, using realistic scenarios to decide what you can and can’t use. You’ll then explore practical strategies for embedding and referencing web based content, using iframes and HTML basics to troubleshoot when things go wrong.
From there, you’ll move into classroom based technologies (projectors, devices, Wi Fi, hardware and software checks) and examine how gamification and game based learning can boost engagement without overwhelming learners. You’ll also explore blended learning strategies such as flipped classrooms, inquiry based learning and SQRRR, and finish with approaches for building strong online learning communities, running synchronous and asynchronous sessions, and experimenting with virtual worlds and the metaverse.
Trainers are increasingly expected to deliver programs across multiple modes while managing copyright, technology and learner support. This course helps you meet obligations around training and assessment practice, learner support, use of digital resources and risk management. You’ll be better equipped to choose lawful resources, embed them correctly, troubleshoot common tech issues, and design engaging activities in face to face, blended and fully online VET environments.
Who Should Take This Course
This course is ideal for: - VET trainers and assessors who deliver units in classrooms, blended formats or fully online and need practical strategies for copyright, embedding content and learner engagement.
- School teachers who want to move beyond basic “show a video” approaches and design more interactive, student centred digital learning experiences.
- Digital learning coordinators and eLearning leaders who support staff with copyright, resource embedding, gamification and online teaching practice.
- Educators exploring virtual worlds or metaverse style environments and wanting a realistic understanding of platforms, complexity and classroom use.
By the end of this
lesson, you will be able to:
- Apply copyright and Creative Commons licences correctly when using and sharing resources.
- Find, embed and organise digital content (videos, interactives, simulations) into your lessons.
- Set up and manage basic digital teaching environments (LMS spaces, class sites, virtual rooms).
- Design learning activities that use gamification or game based learning with clear learning outcomes.
- Plan blended and online approaches, including virtual worlds or simulations, to support deeper learning.
Note: Access is granted for 3 months from the date of enrolment.
