| Course description | Course materials, tutor feedback, assessment and evaluation are all areas where developments in ICT provide new possibilities for both distance education and supplementary course notes/exercises. The design, implementation and evaluation of these offer educational enhancements and also pose particular problems for course designers and tutors. This module will explore these areas and course participants will be able to design and evaluate their own online learning materials. |
