Overview
This unit examines the technological skills and knowledge necessary in a 21st-century digitally connected world. In this unit, you will investigate the theoretical foundations of e-learning and how technology offers a platform for inclusivity, creativity, and innovation with a particular emphasis on Web 2.0 interconnectivity and Web 4.0 intelligence. It is both theoretical and practical, providing opportunities to develop, refine, and reflect on skills and literacies related to e-learning in a secondary context. The unit also encourages ongoing reflection on the cultural and critical aspects of technological literacy while helping pre-service teachers to expand and enhance their existing technological skills.

Feedback, Recommendations and Responses
Every unit is reviewed for enhancement each year. At the most recent review, the following staff and student feedback items were identified and recommendations were made.
Feedback from Student feedback; staff reflection
Multiple platforms required for completion of assessment tasks were excessive.
Consolidate platforms required for assessment completion to reduce confusion.
Feedback from Student feedback; staff reflection
Excessive workload resulting from too many features in Assessment Task 2.
Refine Assessment Task 2 with clear expectations, ensuring weekly workshops address these.
Feedback from Staff feedback
Only online tutorials are offered, but these were poorly attended, possibly due to the timing of the sessions during school hours.
Consider tutorial timing to optimise attendance.
