The Educational Technology team fulfil various roles within 老虎机游戏_pt老虎机-平台*官网 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.
