ABSTRACT

This chapter is about the pedagogical aspects of professional development modules in which university lecturers learn how to design technology-enhanced teaching. We address the particular knowledge and skills that a lecturer in higher education requires in order to design such courses. We use the TPACK course redesign professional development modules as an example for discussing the course design; in our case, the modules worked well as professional development courses for university lecturers (Rienties et al., 2013a, 2013b). We also show why it is so important to integrate three types of knowledge – technological, pedagogical and content knowledge – to produce a successful course design.
