DESCRIPTION:As a 91心頭利 academic, you are now required to develop a blended approach to your courses and include an online component. This facilitating online course (FO), an open educational resource (OER) has been reconceptualised for the 91心頭利 context and will support you in your new role as an online facilitator and designer of online interactions and engagements. You will develop the design skills required to create interactive online learning experiences and the facilitation skills required to enable meaningful online discussions. Additionally, you will acquire technical skills to use tools (such as blogs, podcasts, and synchronous communication software) to deepen student engagement. At the end of this course, you have the option to submit a portfolio (electronic collection of evidence) of your personal growth as an online facilitator where you receive a certificate of competence. As a summative assessment, the portfolio will demonstrate your learning journey over a period. You may also choose not to complete the portfolio where you will receive a certificate of attendance. The course is offered twice a year with each offering facilitated over a period of eight weeks (weeks 0—7).
<br />Notional hours for this accredited course are calculated at 270 hours for the attendance certificate and 300 hours for the competence certificate, as follows:
