Educational Technologies
The Educational Technology team fulfil various roles within CHERTL and the institution:
- academic staff development
- consultation about blended and online learning
- research
- contributing to formal qualifications
- management of technological resources
- policy and strategy development where relevant to educational technology
- management and support of RUconnected
Technology may provide the opportunity to engage student learning outside of the traditional classroom. Choices around blended and online learning need to be aligned to pedagogies. We encourage a pedagogy first approach. We acknowledge that technology is not neutral; that access to technology is not evenly distributed; and that technology can be used either to serve the interests of the status quo in higher education or to contribute to its transformation.
To book a consultation, or if you have a query, please email edtech@ru.ac.za.
