  • Here do we provide tools for easy communication like chat, forum and/or adobe connect. Please use them as much as possible!

    • Forum posts can be rated by teachers or students (peer evaluation). Ratings can be aggregated to form a final grade which is recorded in the gradebook.

      Forums have many uses, such as

      • A social space for students to get to know each other
      • For course announcements (using a news forum with forced subscription)
      • For discussing course content or reading materials
      • For continuing online an issue raised previously in a face-to-face session
      • For teacher-only discussions (using a hidden forum)
      • A help centre where tutors and students can give advice
      • A one-on-one support area for private student-teacher communications (using a forum with separate groups and with one student per group)

  • After successful completion of this course you will receive a certificate of participation. It will show the course title, the date and duration of the course, the number of contact hours as well as the main contents and topics.

    Participants will earn 2 ECTS. [Note: Additional ECTS can be earned. Please contact your local project coordinator]
