Unit Catalogue

Curriculum and assessment of digital technologies in social and cultural contexts are investigated in relation to sciences, social sciences and the humanities from global and local perspectives. 21st Century digital education theories will be explored, particularly in relation to the application of emerging technologies that utilise social media, artificial intelligence, big data, data mining and learning analytics in the educational environment. Drawing on contemporary discourse, students will critically examine the way in which digital technology influences society and conversely how society influences digital technology through curriculum and assessment. Through this unit, students develop critical awareness of the impact of technology on social change, the perpetuation of digital environments that replicate certain societies and cultures in various contexts, and the role of curricula and assessment in developing digital learning futures into the 21st Century.
