TECHNOLOGY ENHANCED LEARNING

Póca Productions will empower your staff and students to embrace smartphone media production as an essential UDL tool.

UDL or Universal Design for Learning is regarded as a guiding principle in the Irish education system. To promote inclusivity educators must provide learning materials and resources in a variety of formats to facilitate learners with varying phyiscal and intellectual needs and learning styles.

According to UDL learners can also present their work in a variety of formats other than the conventional written word on a page. Learners can present audio or video journals to document their learning experience. They can record a video for a wide range of projects to illustrate the outcomes of their learning.

Technology Enhanced Learning is a growing feature throughout all levels of the education system and audio and video production skills are becoming more and more regarded as essential skills.
