| The
nature of the course
This CD contains the course content for your
ACE (ICT Integration) course. You will have registered online
and selected modules. You may change your module selection
at any stage before commencing a module.
Read more about module selection.
At the beginning of each module (normally
at the beginning of a semester) you will be placed in a group
of learners who have registered for the same module as you.
Together you will form a community
of learners . This community will be made up of fellow
educators, and will enable you to participate in online discussion
and progress through the module with the support of this group
of peers and an online tutor.
The tutors for each module will support you
in your work, as well as facilitate online discussion within
the community of learners. All of this communication will
take place via e-mail.
By the end of year 2 of this ACE (ICT Integration)
you should have accumulated 128 credits. The four core modules
are compulsory and amount to 64 credits. This means that you
must accumulate at least 64 credits from the elective modules.
The 4 core modules will be offered at the following times:
