saidInteracting online
below are the features we would like to include in our course:
We will be using PDF format,interacting via all multimedias,allowing the participants to post comments and send inboxes.Moreover use forums whereby it will give the participants a chance to chat with the facilitator and other participants from different institutions,Online Quizz will be given to test their knowledge about the course they are being trained on.Duration of the course will be 4 weeks.
The participants should be fully engaged at the beginning of the the course to avoid dropouts and there will be pratical experience of the e-resource they are being trained on.lastly at the end of the training they will be handed over downloadable certificates after completing the course.Nompilo
saidThank you for the information you have provided on your course features. In order to better articulate your course features, your group will benefit from the following resource: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Dgs32VXQICImvJiPJsojcPFkPw-qpyFnGiqgxwTs3EQ/edit#heading=h.gjdgxs
This page gave my group a number of options/ideas that we hadn’t thought of. It also helped us define the course features that were critical to our course (What We Want); those that we may include if we have time (Minor features); and those that we definitely did not want (What We Don’t Want).
This exercise will also help your group break down (and balance) the various activities into four important categories (Guidance and Support, Content and Experience, Communication and Collaboration, Reflection and Demonstration). The following page provides clarity on this, and a space to ask your questions about this activity: http://emergeafrica.net/live/emergeforums/topic/activity-a2-consider-your-course-features.

saidThank you Nompilo, we have followed the links, they are quite helpful i can say they are mind opening especially with the way the features are broken down, eg what we want, minor features and what we don’t want. it clearly defines the course features.
Nompilo
saidYes, they do help. For my group particularly, the resources helped us articulate what we wanted to do.
