Programme specification:
The programme will: provide students with in-depth knowledge of skills, perspectives and current research in both educational leadership and digital education. They will have opportunities to apply and reflect on this new knowledge in relation to both their own learning and to their professional contexts. As the programme is aimed at experienced professionals, students will immediately see the relevance of programme content to practice.
This specialist programme is suitable for educators such as teachers, school leaders, lecturers, inspectors, administrators and officials who want to gain an insight into educational policy issues of current global significance and their implications for the effective leadership of educational institutions and who wish to understand, use and support digital tools in education. The programme is particularly designed for those professionals who have particular responsibility for leading and managing the implementation or delivery of digital education.
A feature of the programme is that, through the ODL modules, students will gain practical experience of being an ODL learner, even though they are campus-based. Many of the students will, in their professional lives, be responsible for delivering or supporting online and/or distance learning and will be able to do this more effectively with the understanding of what it feels like to learn through ODL.
