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. Technological Research in Education and ICT integration models 
4. Evaluation of the quality of educational software and digital interfaces

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
  • Practical work (tablets, Interactive Whiteboard, video clips, educational robotics)
  • Interactions with the teacher and her assistants through the elearning plaform
  • Learners' presentations

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. Supports used during the courses.
2. Courses notes.
3. Complementary resources. 
4. Exam informations.
5. Instruction for activities.
6. Forums (technical aspects, transversal questions, contents...) for asking questions.
More punctual information will be published on the eCampus platform (Announcement) and a copy of each announcement will be automatically sent to the mailbox of students regularly registered  in the course.
Other communication tools (mail, forum) and collective productions (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 (2 or 3 students), will have to film one learning activity integrating ICT, edit a video and analyze it referring to different criteria. 


  • 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.
In addition, participation in TPs (4 different TPs) is mandatory (unless waived by the teacher). Information on TP registrations will be presented during the session and disseminated on eCampus.  
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). It is recommended that you have completed the Introduction to ICTE course to register. 
Students can also choose 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.

Assessment subjects

The subject evaluated is identical to the one initially planned. 

Assessment methods

The evaluation consists of two parts:  (a) an integrative work (50%) and (b) an oral examination (50%)
(a) The integrating work must be deposited on eCampus in the deposit space provided. No change in content from the first session. Only the digital version of the document is required. 
(b)
- Closed book written exam: the exam will be conducted online in a virtual room (Blackboard Collaborate). Each student will have to connect to the virtual room that will be assigned to him/her with his/her webcam turned on. They will receive, via this room, the questions relating to chapters 1 and 3. The student will have 30 minutes to answer the questions remotely. The subject matter remains the same as in the first session.
- Open book written exam: the exam will be done online in a virtual room (Blackboard Collaborate). Each student will have to connect to the virtual room that will be assigned to him/her with his/her webcam on. They will receive, via this room, the questions relating to chapters 2 and 4. The student will have 30 minutes to answer the questions remotely. The subject matter remains the same as in the first session. The student can have his or her documents for this part of the exam.
Students who obtained an average of less than 10/20 in the first session must present ONLY the parts for which they obtained a mark of less than 10/20. Students who are required to retake only one of the two parts of the written examination will be required to log in at the time indicated for the part in questiion. 
If you would like to submit a part for which you scored above 10/20 in the first session to improve it, you are allowed to do so. However, it will be the last grade obtained that will be kept.
