This unit examines the role of digital technologies and design in education. Students will develop an understanding of how to implement, assess, and capitalise on affordances of current technologies; how to approach emerging technologies including artificial intelligence for use in education; and how to use principles of design when integrating technologies into education. The unit emphasises digital literacy frameworks, ethical considerations, and the creation of meaningful learning experiences that enhance educational outcomes through thoughtful technology integration.
