- introduces different types of web-based technologies and explores how they can be used in teaching
- provides guidance on the digital skills teachers and tutors need and how they can be developed
- examines issues of digital safety, security and responsibility and how online learning communities can be accessed
- applies critical thinking, creativity and responsibility to the processes of using digital technologies inside and outside of the classroom
