Evaluation Course Search Forum
It's now time to start searching for online courses to evaluate for Assessment 3.
As it states in the Assessment Criteria the course you choose can be fully online or Face-to-Face with a strong online component. Because every course is different the definition of 'strong' will depend on a case-by-case basis. That is why your choice of course will need to be confirmed with me.
As you search for online courses please post your findings/opinions/considerations here for all to benefit from.
As you come to a decision, please provide details of the course so I can give you the go ahead.
PLEASE NOTE: You must first make a post to this discussion before you can see anyone else's post. This is to ensure you do some work before reaping the benefit of others' efforts .
ALSO: You will have to mark this forum off as complete manually by ticking the box yourself.
Below are some possible sources for finding an online course to evaluate:
- You can choose a Moodle course from within Wintec (one of a colleague's but please not your own). Make sure it has a strong online component - meaning a good proportion of the face-to-face teaching has been replaced with online activities that are more than just resources to read. Talk to your colleague and get them to add you as a student.
- You can search the internet for other institutions' Moodle courses. Sometimes they leave them open to guests to view, but make sure you can access enough of the content and activities to be able to evaluate it. One that relates to your own professional field would be a great idea.
- Search for a free MOOC that you can join. It will be up to you to participate or not but you should be able to access the majority of content in order to evaluate it.
Here are some sources of free MOOCs:
- Or try these (no guarantees they'll be suitable though)
- If all else fails you can review THIS module
A note on timeframes: Some courses will not give you access to all the course material within the timeframe of this (Intro to eLearning) module. If need to extend your assignment submission date, I'm happy to let you extend so you can access enough of your chosen course to evaluate it sufficiently. Please discuss this with me.
Remember: You must get your choice approved by me before you can use it for your assessment, so it's a good idea to post your ideas here so I can see them.
