Frequently Asked Questions

We currently have three courses open for you to enrol in: F-6 Digital Technologies: Foundations, F-6 Digital Technologies: Extended, and Next Steps! Years 7 & 8. You can register for these courses here and join our Digital Technologies community.

Our courses are open and available for teachers to access any time. Our courses are self-paced which means that you can work through the course when you wish and at your own pace.

We create our courses around Units. For each unit we have prepared materials usually for about 2-3 hours of professional learning. However, depending on your confidence with the materials, you may move through faster or slower.

You do not need to complete the unit in one sitting. You may choose to log-out and take off from where you left off when you have time.

Yes. At the end of the course, and upon completion of the task associated with each unit, you will be able to download and print a Certificate of Completion, which will explain the course content and expected professional learning hours.

Our certificates are linked to the AITSL professional standards for Australian teachers.

You can view your progress by logging into the MOOC and clicking on the "Progress" tab at the top of the screen. 

If you have submitted all the required tasks to the Community and have verified your post URL in the MOOC task sections, then you will be able to request a Certificate of Completion. 

If you didn’t quite finish the course last time (even if you had to re-register), just continue from where you left off. If you had to re-register then simply resubmit your unit tasks to record your progress.

We highly recommend taking our course materials and using them to support your school and community professional learning sessions.

We have heard positive feedback from leaders who take bits and pieces and run workshop sessions or from school groups who work through the course together.
