EPICT

Peter Crosbie from AISWA presented a session this afternoon about the European Pedagogy of ICT licence (EPICT) pilot being undertaken by AISWA as part of Australian Government Quality Teacher Project. AISWA is now the national node for Australia, and their editorial team are localising the modules to the Australian context (including incorporation of edna services).
By Term 3 2009 all modules should be available for Australia.

Delivery is through flexible delivery using Moodle, with a workload of approximately 15 hours per module. Compulsory modules include:

• Locating and Incorporating Electronic Resources
• Word Processing and the Creation of Interactive Learning Materials
• Electronic Communication and Collaboration
• Work Methods and ICT - Where ICT Can Make a Difference

Option modules: Working with Digital Images; Working with Videos, Animation and Podcasts; Games and Learning; Databases; Spreadsheets; Publishing on the Web; ICT and Special Needs; School Innovation - Challenges for ICT Development; E Assessment and Creating Online Tests; Data Logging; Presentation Technologies.

Teachers must undertake the program in small groups (2-4) with a school-based facilitator, and assignments are team-based. Facilitators should already have the EPICT qualification but this was not possible in WA, so teachers who were already recognised as technology integrators were used.
Completion of modules will be recognised by Curtin University towards postgraduate qualifications.
