Orientation
The purpose of this module is to provide you with theoretical constructs that
underpin the creation of ICT mediated learning activities and learning
materials and environments. You will develop a working theoretical
understanding and essential practical skills in using the most appropriate
technologies in designing interactive environments using ICTs for teaching
and learning. As an educator you will learn to incorporate educational
technologies into the creation and design of learning activities and learning
environments that best suit the needs and expectations of today’s learners.
You will also be able to discuss and demonstrate why computers are worth
integrating into learning and how they can add value to your educational
practice.
Just as in the first year modules, skills regarding the use of the computer
and Internet in Education will be taught in an integrated manner through
the use of authentic tasks.
Consultation
Module presenters will be available online through Edulink, which you may
access through the student portal at http://student.uj.ac.za/. Edulink is an
online (Internet-based) environment where most of the teaching and
(hopefully) the learning will take place. Module email and discussions in
Edulink will be used as a communication medium. Alternatively,
consultations can be organised by appointment.

Tutors
Tutors will be appointed to assist you with any module related problems.
These tutors will assist you with your work but will not do the work for you or
re-teach lessons you have missed. For this reason you must please ensure
that you attend contact sessions and take part in all class activities.
Tutors will also be available online through Edulink so please make use of
this system to make appointments with them or discuss your problems
online.
Grievance procedure
Students who feel unhappy about any component of the module are
welcome to bring this to the attention of the relevant people. The following
procedure is, however, essential:
If you are not satisfied with any aspect of the module, for example a test or
assignment mark, discuss it with the tutor or the lecturer. If the issue cannot
be resolved at that level, please consult with the Head of Department:
Mathematics, Science, Technology and Computer Education (Prof D Van
der Westhuizen). Present the grievance in writing and remember to include
details such as dates, times, student numbers and names. If you are still not
happy with the outcome, you may then take the issue up with the Dean of
the Faculty of Education, Prof S Gravett.
In the case of a problem other than marks, you should directly take it up with
the lecturer concerned and, if necessary, take it further as indicated above.
In all cases, the chain of management must be followed. Please keep all
relevant documentation to provide support for your claim.
Attendance Requirements
The attendance of lectures and practical sessions is compulsory. Please
make arrangements with the lecturers if you are unable to attend. Most
module activities will be facilitated online and your presence and
participation within this medium is just as important as your class
attendance. Poor class attendance may prevent you from successfully
completing this module.

in Edulink, the electronic portal that you will access through the student
portal at http://student.uj.ac.za/ Please note that this is a year module and
the final assessment takes place in October 2010.
Please note that any changes to the official times and dates will be posted in
Edulink. It remains your responsibility to check on a regular basis (at least
once a week) for new arrangements, messages and calendar postings in
Edulink.
Textbook
No textbook has to be purchased. Reading material for this module will be
disseminated in Edulink or at the contact sessions.
Internet Access
As most of the module activities and interaction is facilitated online, you will
most definitely need access to a computer and a stable Internet connection.
Assessment
Continuing assessment is done in this module. You will be required to
submit a number of milestone assignments that will eventually make up the
year mark. A final portfolio of work will take the place of the examination in
October 2010. Requirements and guidelines for the final portfolio will be
posted in Edulink.
6
No assignments can be accepted after the due dates without prior
arrangements made with the lecturer. Late assignments will be
assessed at the discretion of the lecturer, but will only be eligible for a
maximum of 50%
You are expected to save all of your work as a backup in case of work
being lost.
Themes
The following themes will be covered in this module. You will be introduced
to the theory that underpins each theme. You will have the opportunity to
combine both theoretical and practical knowledge of each theme in the work
that you submit.
Note: Times and dates for the completion of these themes will be flexible.
Please check the relevant dates and any subsequent changes to the
programme in Edulink.
