Unit Synopsis
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.

Attendance Requirements
All on-campus students are expected to attend scheduled classes - in some units, these classes are identified as a mandatory (pass/fail) component and attendance is compulsory. International students, on a student visa, must maintain a full time study load and meet both attendance and academic progress requirements in each study period (satisfactory attendance for International students is defined as maintaining at least an 80% attendance record).
Recommended Student Time Commitment
Each 6-credit Undergraduate unit at CQUniversity requires an overall time commitment of an average of 12.5 hours of study per week, making a total of 150 hours for the unit.
Assessment Tasks
To see assessment details from an earlier availability, please search via a previous term.
This is a graded unit: your overall grade will be calculated from the marks or grades for each assessment task, based on the relative weightings shown in the table above. You must obtain an overall mark for the unit of at least 50%, or an overall grade of ‘pass’ in order to pass the unit. If any ‘pass/fail’ tasks are shown in the table above they must also be completed successfully (‘pass’ grade). You must also meet any minimum mark requirements specified for a particular assessment task, as detailed in the ‘assessment task’ section (note that in some instances, the minimum mark for a task may be greater than 50%).

Clearer unit requirements
Support student understanding of assessment and learning activities with weekly workshop sessions. Review unit resources to ensure consistency and clarity of information.
A meeting with the previous Unit Coordinator led to a revision of the entire unit to enhance currency and assessment clarity.
Source: Student feedback; staff reflection
Multiple platforms required for completion of assessment tasks were excessive.
Consolidate platforms required for assessment completion to reduce confusion.
In Progress
Source: 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.
In Progress
Source: 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.
