The course will include:

• comprehensive coverage of the syllabus content
• teaching and learning strategies appropriate for the development of deep understanding

• practical examples of how ICT can be used to enhance student learning

Participants will be invited to join a wiki through which they will collaborate, share ideas and resources and discuss issues relevant to the teaching of the topic under consideration.

Some use of computer technology will be included, so please bring your tablet or lap-top and charger.
