UvA
About This Course
Teaching is a complex activity. It requires the integration of various specialized knowledge types, enabling lecturers to apply complex knowledge structures across different cases and contexts. For effective teaching, knowledge about how students learn (pedagogy), expertise in subject matter (content), and familiarity with the tools that lecturers can utilize in teaching (technology) are necessary. In this course, you will learn about the framework that describes the intricate interplay among these three bodies of knowledge that a lecturer needs to possess. You will be encouraged to consider how TPACK could empower your own teaching practice and to share your thoughts and experiences from teaching with your fellow participants in this course.
Completing this course will take approximately two hours.
After completing this online course you will be able to:
• Describe what is TPACK framework

• Reflect on a role of the lecturer and on the awareness of using TPACK framework when designing effective and quality teaching
