Course Introduction
ICT Essentials for Teachers outlines the core competencies that will provide teachers in Nigeria with needed skills to help them integrate ICT into their classroom experience. This Course was developed under a partnership between UNESCO, the National Universities Commission, and relevant stakeholders in Nigeria in line with the third version of the ICT–CFT.
The course draws from local and nearby experiences and OER which have been contextualised to meet the need of educators and learners in Nigeria. ICT Essentials for Teachers has a total of 50 notional hours and is comprised of all the six aspects of the ICT CFT Framework Version 3. It contains detailed information on processes and procedures for integrating ICT in education for problem-solving, critical thinking, innovative skills, and to promote life-long learning. The knowledge acquisition level was identified by stakeholders as the most appropriate focus first iteration of the course. Nevertheless, some units contain competencies found at the Knowledge Deepening level.
