Micro degree "Transformative Technology Use For Education Futures"

If you are an in-service teacher, university lecturer, educational technologist, or any other educational practitioner, the micro degree “ Transformative Technology Use For Education Futures” offers the possibility to develop your capacity to use technology in education meaningfully. During the micro degree, you will also have the opportunity to be part of an international community of educational researchers and practitioners devoted to studying and exploring the role of educational technology in contemporary learning.

In cooperation with ESTDEV we can offer 5 scholarships (free participation in micro degree and covering the travel and accommodation costs) for Armenian, Georgian and Moldovian citizens.

The degree will be delivered in a blended format and will cover one semester. The course starts with an onsite session from 11 to 19 August in Tartu and will have dedicated workshops on Technology Use in Education. From September onwards, the course will continue with several online courses on Postdigital Literacy, New Learning Paradigms and Critical Issues of Technology Use in Education. The learning process will also be supported by regular web-seminars led by the programme director.

The micro degree is specifically designed for those working full-time or who would like to develop their professional capacity in educational technology. Also, the credits awarded for the micro degree (18 ECTS) can be transferred to the related master’s programme in Educational Technology (60 ECTS).

The course is delivered in English.
