Course team: 1. Course director 2. Academic lead 3. TEL
practitioner 4. Course administrator
5. Feedback The quality of the lectures in terms of
presentation, clarity and content is excellent. I do enjoy them!
The fact that I can do it any time of the week and day/night is
also relevant here. A great aspect of the forum is that our posts
with questions/queries are automatically available to everyone from
MSc team. The feedback we receive is possibly more comprehensive
than if we were limited to one-to-one contact. English is not my
first language. However Ive found all lectures easy to understand.
I honestly think this course is perfect the way it is, offering
students a wide variety of important topics. I have found the
course really interesting so far. It made me do many things I would
have never done otherwise and discovered new areas that I am
interested in.
6. Moodle vs Canvas 1. Site layout/design 2. Lecture content 3.
Assessment 4. Community
7. Next steps 1. Beta test with all 3 current cohorts (Moodle
to run in parallel temporarily) 2. Reiteration based on feedback 3.
Potential addition of further masters programmes to online portal?
