This is a two-week part-time course which provides qualified educators with a deeper understanding of concepts and practical aspects of technology-enhanced project-based learning. The course consists of:

The 30 hours of tutor-led sessions will be of hands-on tutor-led workshops which give participants practical techniques that they can learn how to adapt and apply to your students and manage project-based learning successfully.
