This area focuses on the integration of educational technology into curricula at both the course and programme level. CET works with educators on curriculum partnership projects to develop online teaching and learning resources to support specific curricula or course objectives. CET also offers provide small grants as incentives to UCT educators interested in exploring the possibilities of using educational technology for teaching in their courses. For more information, contact Glenda Cox.
CET develops and supports online learning environments (Vula) and other learning technologies which support teaching and learning in UCT courses. For more information, contact Stephen Marquard (Learning Technologies Co-ordinator).
CET works with UCT educators to develop capacity to teach effectively with technology. CET makes available workshops, seminars and ‘show and tell’ sessions to raise educators’ awareness of the ways in which educational technology can be used for teaching and learning. For more information, contact Tony Carr (Staff Development Co-ordinator).
CET's research mission is to ensure that the design, development and use of ICTs for teaching and learning are based on rigorous contextualised research. Our objectives are to provide equitable access to higher education, enable social redress, and improve the quality of teaching and learning at UCT, in South Africa and in countries with similar needs.
For more information see our CET's research contact Dick Ng'ambi (Research Co-ordinator) or see our project page for current activities, all of which include a research component.
