Undergraduate international course guide - Edith Cowan University

Of particular importance within the course is an emphasis on
the use of Information Technology (IT) in learning and teaching.
Students develop their own IT skills as well as gaining the
professional knowledge needed to successfully incorporate IT
into learning programs. Likewise, opportunities exist in the fourth
year of the course for teaching students to focus on a specialised
curriculum area. Successful completion of the course presents
graduates with the expertise required to take up employment
as outstanding teachers equipped with the knowledge, skills and
experience to make a difference to the lives of young people and
take on a classroom of their own.
