About this Podcast
HOST: Welcome to our podcast, today I'm thrilled to have Dr. Jane Smith with us, an expert in educational technology and the lead instructor for the Certified Professional in Technology-Enhanced Pedagogy or CPTeP course. Dr. Smith, can you tell us a bit about this course and what inspired its creation? GUEST: Thanks for having me! The CPTeP course is designed to help educators at all levels integrate technology effectively into their teaching, enhancing student engagement and boosting their career prospects. I noticed a growing need for educators to stay updated with the latest educational technology trends and best practices. HOST: That's fascinating. Can you share some current industry trends that educators should be aware of when it comes to technology-enhanced pedagogy? GUEST: Absolutely. Blended learning, which combines traditional face-to-face instruction with online learning, is becoming increasingly popular. Also, the demand for online course design and digital assessment tools is on the rise. Educators should familiarize themselves with these trends to better engage students in the digital age. HOST: I see. And what challenges have you encountered while teaching this subject or seen others face in this field? GUEST: One major challenge is the resistance to change some educators experience when incorporating new technology into their teaching practices. Additionally, staying current with rapidly evolving technology can be time-consuming and overwhelming for many. HOST: Those are valid concerns. Lastly, where do you see the future of technology-enhanced pedagogy heading, and how will the CPTeP course prepare educators for these changes? GUEST: I believe that technology will continue to play a significant role in education, and the CPTeP course is designed to help educators stay ahead of the curve. By providing hands-on training and practical knowledge, we aim to empower educators to embrace technology and transform their teaching, ultimately benefiting their students and their careers. HOST: Dr. Smith, thank you so much for joining us today and giving us valuable insights into the Certified Professional in Technology-Enhanced Pedagogy course. We're confident that this program will help many educators thrive in the evolving educational landscape. GUEST: Thank you for having me.
