Beginner Courses:

Get Interactive: Practical Teaching with Technology

This course is designed to help you create dynamic and interactive online courses using multimedia tools, student collaboration opportunities, and formative assessment and feedback.

Co-developed by Supercharger Ventures and EDHEC Business School. EdTech, short for Educational Technology, is one of the most exciting sectors of today’s economy, poised to reshape how education systems operate and how people learn worldwide.

Powerful Tools for Teaching and Learning: Digital Storytelling introduces educators to digital storytelling and explores ways to use digital stories to enhance student learning experiences. The course is designed to be comprehensive yet foundational.

In this guided project, learners will learn how to collaborate using different, free G-Suite Apps, including Gmail, Google Forms, Google Calendar, a shared Google Drive, and how to work on shared documents (Docs, Sheets, Slides, etc.).

Intermediate Courses:

Introduction to PhET Simulations for STEM Education

PhET Interactive Simulations (https://phet.colorado.edu/), a project of the University of Colorado Boulder, provides fun, free, interactive, and research-based science and math simulations for use at the elementary, middle, and higher education levels.
