Teachers have much in common with researchers. They create hypotheses about what works within their classrooms, test them, and understand the impact on their students. Indeed, many questions teachers face have relevant answers in research. This course aims to support teachers in applying research findings, which requires the ability to understand research and transfer findings to their practice.

This seminar introduces effective use of visualizations to support learning in STEM education. Students evaluate visual tools like images, graphs, animations, simulations, and gestures for their pedagogical impact, and decide when and how to integrate them in instruction to enhance understanding while avoiding misconceptions.

This course introduces the concepts and principles of educational technology as an integral part of teaching and learning. It aims to equip students with the knowledge and skills to design effective learning environments that integrate technologies. Another aim is to provide an overview of digital tools and emerging technologies, and guidance about how to strategically select and use them.
