EDST 4500U – Enabling Learning through Technology This course forms part of the Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) specialization in the BA in ESDT program. Students in this course critically evaluate opportunities and challenges in promoting equitable technology-enabled education. With the advancement of educational technologies, new affordances have emerged to enable learning to be more adaptive, personalized and embedded in everyday devices. These affordances need to be matched with pedagogical approaches that support equitable opportunities for the successful realization of educationally meaningful learning outcomes including motivation, engagement and achievement for every learner. Students will examine current research and policy for the use of technology to support inclusive education including Universal Design for Learning (UDL), accessibility and differentiation. With a focus on group work, learners will analyze how these EDI concepts and their related policies promote meta-learning competencies such as collaboration and metacognition for all students. Credit hours: 3.0 Prerequisite(s): EDST 2500U Experiential learning: Yes
