Overview
The Postgraduate Certificate in Digital Education is a part-time fully online distance learning course that will equip you with the skills needed to further your career in the field of digital education.
If you’re an education professional, learning technologist, or teacher looking to enhance your knowledge of digital education and broaden your career opportunities, then this qualification is for you. This online course will help you grasp the theories underpinning digital education, while using the latest learning technologies and looking towards future developments in the field.
Specialist modules – such as Education in a Digital Society and Digital Education in Practice – will help you develop a critical perspective on the use of digital technology in learning contexts, as well as work-based practical skills. Our excellence in digital education means you’ll have the opportunity to engage, collaborate and learn in creative ways at a pace that suits you.
You’ll benefit from studying digital education practice as an online learner yourself, and the interactive, collaborative and community-based delivery of this course allows you to engage with fellow professionals while harnessing the expertise of our academic staff. In addition, you’ll engage with academic leaders and innovative practitioners in digital education to discuss and debate the past, the present and the future of digital education.
In a field where research can often overstate conclusions from short-term interventions, you’ll learn to approach research critically. You’ll develop skills to collaborate online with other digital education professionals to evaluate digital education practice in a range of professional settings, both during and after the course.
