Learning to Teach Online

Learning to Teach Online

Course Instructors - Dr Simon McIntyre and Dr Negin Mirriahi 

This MOOC is designed to be flexible. What that means is that there's eight modules covering eight different topics, delivered across six weeks. You don't have to go through the modules in any sequential way. You can choose to look at the modules that are of most interest to you, or you can do all the modules, but you can choose which ones to do first, and which ones to do later.

Web 2.0 is a term that encompasses the way that online social media tools are enabling users to communicate, collaborate and generate dynamic content in social networks.

In addition to teaching them disciplinary knowledge and skills, we also need to teach them digital literacies they need to be effective in the future workplace.
