Postgraduate Certificate in Digital Education in Practice

Arden University’s Postgraduate Certificate in Digital Education in Practice is an innovative new course designed to support anyone working in education in redefining their teaching philosophy and practice for today’s post-pandemic, hybrid digital world. The course offers practical insight into emerging technologies as well as the opportunity to create a portfolio of digital tools that best suit your individual teaching requirements and ambitions.

The course will enable you to challenge, reflect upon, and enhance your use of digital artefacts in your approach to teaching, helping you bring your teaching methodologies and practices into the modern world. You’ll cover a wide range of theoretical perspectives on digital pedagogy and have the opportunity to apply your learning to your own areas of educational interests and professional practice. With its focus on contemporary digital education and lesson design, highly interactive teaching and learning strategy, constructive peer and tutor feedback, and lifelong learning, the course will allow you to critically analyse, create, and implement digital teaching resources in a safe and enriching environment.

Arden University is a pioneer in online education, and this course is delivered by an academic team who have a breadth of experience in digital pedagogy and are thought leaders in their sectors. With their help, you’ll learn how to effectively integrate digital tools to enhance your teaching approach and learning outcomes. The hands-on, developmental nature of the course ensures that the knowledge and skills you gain will immediately strengthen your professional practice and profile, irrespective of your geographical location. And - because transforming the world of digital education is one of our core tenets here at Arden, we even offer this course to our own staff to further their skills development. That means you’ll be studying the course with some of our very own tutors.
