Course reviews
What have other teachers said about how Integrating digital technologies helped them?
"I learnt how to make my lesson plans more inclusive and diverse for language learners. It also helped me a lot to choose and integrate those multimodal digital tools and content which is relevant to my learners' needs and learning objectives."
Course participant, Pakistan
"In one of my recent classes, instead of following the usual end-of-unit quiz from the textbook, I applied the problem-based learning (PBL) approach from the course. I presented the task as a problem: “How can we make this review more fun and engaging using digital tools?” The students worked in groups, researched possible tools like Kahoot and Canva, and then created their own interactive review games. They loved being part of the decision-making process, and it really boosted their collaboration and problem-solving skills."

"One example of how I applied the knowledge from the course is by designing a collaborative digital project where my learners worked in small groups to create a multimedia presentation on an environmental issue. They used digital tools like Google Slides to combine text, images, and audio, and applied checklists to review and improve their content. This allowed them to develop both their digital literacy and critical thinking skills, while engaging with real-world topics in a meaningful way."
