CSU’s Graduate Certificate in Classroom Technology extends the teaching abilities of students, creates opportunities for critical reflection on practice and enhances employment prospects of participants through an innovative use of workplace learning.
CSU’s Graduate Certificate in Classroom Technology offers students enrolled in undergraduate teacher education programs the opportunity to undertake study focused on classroom technology. This course also offers existing teachers, particularly early-career teachers, the opportunity to undertake further study to build their professional knowledge in technology education. This is a four subject course offered in Session 3 only. Full-time enrolment can be undertaken in one Session 3 enrolment. Part-time enrolment spreads study load across two Session 3 enrolments. Session 3 runs from November to February each year.
Graduates of this course are able to plan, implement and evaluate teaching strategies that incorporate a broad range of technologies and online resources in classroom settings. They are equipped with skills required to engage in the process of developmental improvement in terms of planning, teaching and assessing using technologies and online resources. Graduates are able to make considered judgements about changes in practice and implement and evaluate these changes with a focus on developing their teaching skills. They have the skills to research their own practice through the use of research methodologies that are appropriate to their own teaching contexts.
This course enables additional study to be undertaken in a specific content area, but it is not a retraining program and therefore will not have independent accreditation sought with the NSW Institute of Teachers.
To graduate from CSU’s Graduate Certificate in Classroom Technology, students must satisfactorily complete three core subjects, and one restricted elective, that is 32 points.
For each 8 point subject at CSU, students should normally expect to spend between 140-160 hours engaged in the specified learning and assessment activities (such as attending lectures or residential schools, assigned readings, tutorial assistance, individual or group research/study, forum activity, workplace learning, assignments or examinations). The student workload for some subjects may vary from these norms as a result of approved course design.
Students will be assessed on the basis of completed assignments, examinations, workplace learning, or other methods as outlined in specific subject outlines.
Where applicable, students are responsible for travel and accommodation costs involved in workplace learning experiences, or attending residential schools (distance education students).
Expectations relating to academic, workplace learning, time and cost requirements for specific subjects are provided in the subject abstracts and in course materials.
