Developing effective online teaching and learning

environments for education students

EDF4701• non-award unit that caters for students who are undertaking an

extended fieldwork placement, • must cater for a diverse cohort of students who generally require an

individual program with flexible start dates. • For example,

– Kinda Pashwar is a teacher who has overseas qualification but cannot get teacher registration in Australia until she completes a further 20 days of supervised fieldwork in an Australian school.

– Ami, Jane, and Rosie are student teachers from the University of Northern Iowa (UNI), as part of UNIs international program students can do an 8-week out-of state or an international teaching round in their final year.

• They are enrolled in EDF4701, supported online (before they arrive and while they do their placement) and, face to face seminars, usually at the school, are arranged.
