Teaching and Learning with the Internet broadly explores the use and impact of the Internet on learners and educators. This course critically investigates a range of topics related to the educational use of online technologies from perspectives such as theory, practice, and policy. We will explore how teaching and learning with the Internet supports student learning of content and the development of digital literacy.
