Digitally-rich teaching and learning (DTL) is defined as creating student-centered learning activities that take full advantage of the learning opportunities offered by a combination of technologies leveraging digital learning, including most notably the use of personal computing devices, learning management systems, specialized software and apps, and a variety of digital resources. Explores the implications for K-12 schools of a coordinated and sustained use of DTL in the context of district-wide efforts toward “digital conversion.” This course is offered as a hybrid online course to enable students to personally experience several different types of synchronous and online learning activities outside of class, and how they can be integrated with in-class and other face-to-face activities.
