Course content
This is not a course for advanced users. This is a course for teachers who may have some ideas about teaching online but need to connect it all together by building up their understanding of the core principles behind the use of technology. It is for teachers who use technology but not necessarily in any systematic or organised way. The course will also develop your technical skills in a number of key areas too. You need a PC or Mac and a gmail account to participate in this course.
Further Information
NILE Online courses are highly interactive and learning takes place through varied and engaging multimedia content and the collaboration between participants from different contexts. All participants work on the same unit in the same week but there is a high level of flexibility within that time period to help you fit studying around your life and work. The interaction via forums and the other powerful digital tools built into the platform help and encourage you to share ideas, ask questions, explore concepts and build up a community.
You need a computer, a headset (with microphone) and an Internet connection. Much of the course can be done on a mobile device, but a computer is needed for certain activities and tasks.
All participants have access to NILE’s extensive ELT e-library and an innovative social and cultural programme.
