    This is a very interesting course that aids the learner to learn. This course is great , especially for teachers in this ever changing technological world, where someone could be easily lost. It helps the learner to prepare for learning in a different medium( change from face to face , to online learning). By doing this course, it prepares the learner to learn online with ease and confidence. A variation of assessments are used, so the learner is not easily bored by doing repetitive, boring activities. A wise decision was made when this course was chosen.

  • It serves an introduction to what is like is online learning. And if you want to know the difference between online and face-to-face learning.

    The course has several webinars that you can join.

    I learned understanding the function of LMS is also important in online learning. To be honest, I know there is a eportfolio in Canvas the first time. And access to it seems hidden.

    The course is a very good introduction so far.
