Growing numbers of students expect a choice in where and how they learn. This includes being able to learn fully online or in blended mode (part face-to-face and part online), whatever the subject matter, and today’s teachers are increasingly expected to know how to teach their students online effectively.

This e-Moderation course gives you the skills and confidence to teach online in a principled and effective manner. The course was developed and run by The Consultants-E, and NILE is delighted to offer this highly-respected programme on our NILE Online platforms.

The course is specifically recommended by Cambridge Assessment English for face-to-face CELTA teacher trainers wanting to become qualified online CELTA trainers, and is suitable for teachers and trainers working in any subject area.

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.
