Diploma in Teaching with ICT

Overview

Information and Communications Technology (ICT) has become a vital resource in teaching and learning. In all subjects, contexts and phases of education, teachers need to know how best to make use of a range of ICT to support teaching and learning. They need to use ICT so that it really helps their learners to learn, helps themselves to practice and develop as professionals, and helps their institutions to develop as learning communities.

The Diploma is relevant to all types of learning programmes: from face–to–face classroom work to distance learning; from whole group to individual learning; and from subject–based to skills–focused courses. The syllabus is based on generic global standards of performance, skills and knowledge, and these provide a set of clear parameters in which both candidates and Centres can work. The assessment system also actively encourages the identification of relevant, local opportunities in which to apply the skills and strategies being learned.

Candidates are encouraged to develop a creative, critical and resourceful approach to ICT – including knowing when to use ICT to best effect.

As ICT is always changing, teachers need to be able to approach new technology and contexts competently and with confidence, so that they can develop their students' capabilities, improve their own professional practice and make a significant contribution to their institution's goals in education and training. The skill–set developed through the Diploma equips teachers with the knowledge necessary to achieve these goals.
