Module running in 2020/21
Aims
The Technology, E-learning and the Web modules enable all HE career and employability professionals to design and deliver technology-enhanced solutions in their work. You will develop understanding and skills in technology, e-learning and the web in two contexts (CE938) or one context (CE925).
