Learning unit contents

The teaching unit "Introduction to information and communication technologies in education" (IICTE) includes the following chapters:
1. ICT integration policies in education and initial and continuous teachers' training in ICTE
2. Digital uses in education (tools, gains, learning scenarios integrating ICT uses, quality of pedagogical video)
3. Evaluation of the quality of educational software and digital interfaces
4. Technological Research in Education and ICT integration model

Learning outcomes of the learning unit

The three main course's objectives are:

  • Using ICT in a critical and usefull way for learning purposes.
  • Mastering knowledge linked with ICT integration in Education
  • Analysing digital uses in learning context based on the theoretical informations seen during the course
More precisely, the learner will
- know several ICT integration policies in education in the Fédération Wallonie Bruxelles (FWB)
- know the european provisions among pre-service teacher training in ICTE and put them in paralell with the ones taken in FWB 
- use several ICT tools related to contents and activities
- have an overview of educational ICT uses
- develop a critical point of view about the added values of ICT uses in education
- apply different (techno) educational models and concepts to analyse training environments
- create a grid for evaluating the pedagogical quality of educational software
- analyze the ergonomic quality of a software interface

Prerequisite knowledge and skills

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

The course will use various learning and teaching methods:

  • Face to face individual and group activities (e.g. evaluation grid of pedagogical quality)
  • Distance activities
  • Teacher's presentations
  • Flipped classroom : Reading Questions and Exercises method
  • ICTE News creation and comments through a web tool called Padlet
  • Learners' presentations
  • Practical work (tablets, Interactive Whiteboard, video clips, educational robotics)
  • Interactions with the teacher and her assistants through the elearning plaform

Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning)

The course will be mostly in face-to-face. 

Recommended or required readings

All information about the course is available on the elearning platform eCampus.
Resources are:
1. Courses notes.
2. Supports used during the courses.
3. Complementary resources. 
4. Instruction for activities.
5. Exam informations.
6. Forums (technical aspects, transversal questions, contents...)
Other communication tools (mail, mail) and collective production ones (shared editors...) are also used to carry out the activities.

Assessment methods and criteria

Evaluation is based on:

  • An integrating work (50%)
Student, alone or in group, will have to film one learning activity integrating ICT, make a video montage and analyze it based on different points seen during the course. 
  • A written exam (50%)
The exam will include an open book part and a closed book part. The examen will cover several parts of the course. 
Validation requests the submission of both parts and a score of 10/20 or more. If the student failed (less than 10/20) but succeed on one of the two parts, he should only take again the part of the examen where he failed. 

Work placement(s)

Work placements in educational technologies are proposed  by the CRIFA (Centre de Recherche sur l'Instrumentation, la Formation et l'Apprentissage) for students who succedded this course. 
Students can also chose a master thesis in this field of research (list of topics on demand). 

Organizational remarks

The course takes place on Wednesday from 1.00 pm to 4.00 pm.
Practical works take place in specific classrooms.
