Course aims

The course gives theoretical pedagogical guidlines to create and evaluate learning design projects and educational technology situations in institutions. Particularly it aims to:
Create opportunities for using pedagogical principles of educational technology in developing actual learning designs;
Give knowledge and competences to conduct evaluation research in educational technology for evaluating the effectiveness of learning designs and educational technology situations in institutions;
Create attitudes to participate in portfolio-based communities of educational technologists and being involved into the developmental projects in educational technology.

Brief description of the course

In individual and teamwork the knowledge and competences of theoretical pedagogical principles and practical trends of research in educational technology will be given. Individually the prototypes of learning designs (made at Learning design course) will be analyzed based on pedagogical principles using formative and summative methods.
In the groupwork the educational technology istuation in the institution will be evaluated.

Learning outcomes in the course

Upon completing the course the student:
- has an overview of the pedagogical principles and research trends used in educational technology studies;
- has basic competences in conducting different types of educational technology research;
- can choose appropriate methods to conduct the design-based or evaluation research and make suggestions how to improve the designs, learning communities or organisations with educational technology;
