Computer and Instructional Technology Teaching
About Program
In order to live, learn and work successfully in an increasingly complex and information rich society, students must use technology effectively. The main goal of the Computer & Instructional Technology Programme is twofold: One is to prepare the students for the profession of teaching; and the second one is to provide the students with the required knowledge and skills to use computers and educational technologies both as teaching tools and for guiding students in using them as learning tools.
This programme enables the students to select and/or develop software materials for instructional purposes such as computer assisted instruction, distance education and individualised education. The programme also provides education and training for students to achieve a high level of computer competency, which will enable them to work in the public sector or private industry and businesses. This programme will help students develop skills, which could be used and transferred to various fields such as participating as a member of a team, working with different groups, using communication effectively, decision making, and problem solving, and establishing new initiatives.
One of the essential components of the programme is to equip students with research concepts and skills. Students in the information age should be able to locate, select, classify and use information for the specific purposes required of the problem or project. The medium of instruction is English.
