Digital Learning Technology and Entrepreneurship

Overall Course Objectives

In this course, you will learn how to use technology for learning and about different theories on how we learn. As part of the course, you, along with your group, will design – and perhaps build – a digital learning technology.

You will also learn how to leverage the different types of data generated by digital learning technologies and how the insights from the analyses of data can help students learn more or improve the learning experience & outcomes, teachers become better at teaching, scientists doing their research more evidence-based and developers to produce more efficient technologies.

This course is for you if you want to:
* Understand how we learn and how we can improve learning
* Understand how to create evidence of learning
* Know more about how to become an entrepreneur
* Improve teaching and learning using technology
* Make learning more effective, deeper and more fun
* Build valuable digital learning technology for individual and organization
* and maybe revolutionize teaching and learning
