The course is available free to all UNE staff but is particularly designed for colleagues who are sessional staff, new to university teaching, new to teaching online, or new to teaching at UNE.
However, everyone is welcome to enrol!
If you have previously enrolled and would like to re-enrol, please do so via the above link as well. Even if you do not re-enrol you will still have access to the course and you can complete it at your own pace – you simply won’t have me haunting your in-box twice a week.
The course comprises six self-paced modules, offered through Moodle. Each module has approximately one hour of core material and activities to complete and you are free to complete all or as any number of modules you like. Plus, you can take as long as you like.
