Module 6: Extra Resources Integration (1.5 hours)

Learning Objectives

• Identify and explore additional resources for self-study.
• Evaluate the relevance of books, articles, apps, e-courses, videos, and
podcasts.
• Clarify questions and concerns regarding extra resources.

This module deals with identifying and exploring additional resources for self-
study, how to evaluate their relevance and how to integrate them in digital
education lessons. The “Activity Kit” document contains a list of recommendations
for books, articles, apps, e-courses, videos, and podcasts on the ICT topics
Robotics, Coding, Microcontrollers, 3D modelling and printing, and web-

development. The extra resources presented in the “Activity Kit” have several
purposes as well as advantages:

Enhanced Learning Experience: The resources in the “Activity Kit” provide

additional explanations, examples, and perspectives that can enhance the overall
learning experience for learners.

Catering to Different Learning Styles: Learners have different learning
preferences. Integrating various types of resources allows teachers or trainers to
provide to visual, auditory, and kinaesthetic learners suitable material.

Deepening Understanding: Extra resources can explore in more detail specific

topics, providing in-depth explanations, case studies, or practical examples to
help learners develop a deeper understanding of the respective topic.

Current Information: Digital education is a rapidly evolving field. Extra resources
such as websites, podcasts, and online articles can provide the latest information,
trends, and developments in the field, ensuring that learners are up to date with

knowledge on digital skills.

Self-Paced Learning: Learners can access extra resources at their own pace,
allowing them to review materials as needed and reinforcing their understanding
of concepts covered in the lesson.

Flexible Instructional Design: Teachers or trainers can use a variety of
resources to design flexible lessons that accommodate diverse learner needs
and preferences. For example, a mix of videos, readings, and interactive
activities might be included to keep learners engaged and motivated.
