Learner Prederence and Modality
The course would be offered on Moodle. It is fully online, however it would be blended learning that allows teachers to complete assessments within the instructor's defined timeframe. The estimated time to complete the course is 9 weeks and has a start date so teachers can go through the same lessons at the same time. Teachers will engage in online interactive activities such as flipped classroom, online simulation, and quizzes. Feedback is provided throughout the course either from the instructor or peer reviewed. Collaboration opportunities such as group projects would be included for teachers to engage with other teachers possibly in real-time interaction via a virtual meeting on Moodle. In-person lectures are replaced with online content including multimedia resources, interactive discussions and practical activities for teachers to practice engaging with different technology tools and AI for L2 composition.
