Bring Your Own Device for Learning #BYOD4L

‘Bring Your Own Device for Learning’ course (BYOD4L)
11-15 January 2016
BYOD4L is a bite-size facilitated open course offered over 5 days for educators and students  in HE but also anybody else who would like to learn how we can utilise our digital devices for professional, lifelong and lifewide learning.
Together participants will explore the following topics based on the 5C Framework:

• connecting
• communicating
• curating
• collaborating
• creating

Using an inquiry-based approach that will enable you to learn with others and/or on your own within a supportive community. You are very welcome to join one or all of the above topics and work towards an open badge or two 😉 There will be seven open badges available in total. One for each topic, one for the community and a course badge if you successfully complete the whole course. All work submitted will be peer reviewed and can be used as evidence of CPD.

Each evening there will be a tweetchat between 8-9pm GMT. There is an opportunity to both listen in and contribute to a discussion on Twitter via the hashtag #BYOD4Lchat. In the previous three iterations of the course this has been a vibrant learning space where participants share ideas and learn together.
