A quality, 4-month, online, guided learning journey
The course is relevant to teachers globally; accredited in NSW.
This 16 week, hands-on, online learning journey is designed for secondary or middle school teachers who are keen to supplement their classroom teaching with quality, online components.
The focus of the course is on creating quality, online units which promote collaboration and inquiry, based on social learning principles. In order to deliver quality social, online learning units, an exceptional online platform is required.
The online platform used as the frame of reference
The course features one such platform – Open Learning – which is free for participants to use. However, participants are free to use other platforms. Tutorials will be provided for several platforms.
In a nutshell ...
During the course participants will source videos, learn to create quality videos, deliver videos via ‘the cloud’, create a quality online unit of work, trial it with students and report back on their implementation experience. In other words, this is very much a ‘doing’ course.
Everyone gets to complete!
Teachers have hectic lives and sometimes things get in the way of completing a course in the allocated time. Be assured that if this happens to you, but you are keen to complete; we will do enable you to do so.

A TEAM is a number of teachers from the same school undertaking a course simultaneously. The TEAM approach maximises collaboration and collegial support on site in addition to gaining all the benefits from the online course. The TEAM approach is a great way for school leaders to actively affect pedagogical change within their staff.

Testimonials
This course was so beneficial - it was one of the best professional development courses I have completed as it really made me utilise the new things that I have learnt. I was hoping to learn about creating and sharing my own videos and I have been able to successfully do that. One of the best aspects of the course is that it is self-paced and I can keep going back over the content when I need it. It was also lovely to have positive feedback and to see what others were working on. Thank you Richard!
