1.5. Who Are We?
WHO WE ARE
The course is grounded in the practical and inspiring practices of lower secondary teachers in Rwenzori, West-Nile, and Busoga region from partner schools of Enabel and Ministry of Education and Sports' (MoES) in Uganda.
We used human-centered design methodologies to co-create the course and collect practices of teachers integrating ICT across different subjects. Special thanks to all contributors (click to see video) that supported the design of this course during the following time-line.
The hands-on realties are complemented by the theoretical backbone of the handbook “Digital Didactics. How?” (Lannoo Campus 2024), written by Griet Bogaert from Howest and SparkEd and Mitte Schroeven from Centre of Expertise of Learning and Education at Thomas More, University of Applied Sciences.
We also acknowledge the use of Gemini to support the development process — including brainstorming practical exercises to apply theory, translating academic language into dynamic and engaging content, drafting initial podcast scripts on which teachers further built adding their own practical examples, and helping contextualize theoretical frameworks with Ugandan role models in illustrations.
The background music in the podcasts is copyright-free and sourced from Canva, where the episode was also produced and edited. For accessibility purposes, full transcriptions are provided in the description of the podcast links on SoundCloud.
The course will remain openly accessible and free on the OpenLearn platform, ensuring continued public ownership and use. Content updates will be maintained by Enabel staff to keep the course relevant, while the learning community will be moderated and sustained by future Enabel colleagues together with engaged teachers who continue to share practice and support one another.
