Unit rationale, description and aim
When you plan a learning sequence for your students, you are likely to draw on technology for digital tasks and resources. This microcredential will help you consider the design and implementation of these sequences using scholarly evidence.
This unit aims to improve the learning outcomes of all the students you teach and help prepare them for digital workplaces and communities through the pedagogically informed selection and implementation of technologies for learning and teaching.
Learning outcomes
To successfully complete this unit you will be able to demonstrate you have achieved the learning outcomes (LO) detailed in the below table.
Each outcome is informed by a number of graduate capabilities (GC) to ensure your work in this, and every unit, is part of a larger goal of graduating from ACU with the attributes of insight, empathy, imagination and impact.

Assessment strategy and rationale
The assessment for this micro-credential is to prepare a design for a learning sequence that includes technology and to collect or build the elements required to implement this sequence, at least as a prototype. The idea of “prototyping” is to make a version of the sequence elements that is good enough to show how the technology works and that gives you confidence that you could further develop the prototype and teach with it. Formative feedback is available throughout the term so you can develop your design and your ability to create a working prototype.
To pass this micro-credential, you are required to complete all elements of the design relevant to your challenge and develop a prototype as required by the design.

Learning and teaching strategy and rationale
In this microcredential, you will make use of learning design approaches to plan learning sequences that address a teaching challenge that you identify and then develop a prototype of the digital elements that you would need to implement this learning sequence.
