AEDT 1120U – Foundations of Digital Teaching and Learning Technologies

The purpose of this course is to introduce the technologies that underlie digital teaching and learning. Students will examine the history of computing, the technological underpinnings of digital technologies (e.g., binary numbers, ASCII codes), programming concepts, early uses of computing in support of learning, and computer-assisted instruction. Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the impact of major technological developments on digital learning technologies (e.g., transistors and miniaturization, CRT displays, pointing devices, external memory devices, and high speed communications).
