Teaching Beginning Reading

Course Assessment

After listening to the lecture and reading the relevant chapters of the set text, participants will meet the assessment criteria requirements by:

• contributing to the discussion site
• completing practical activities

Discussion Site: For each module, participants must contribute a 150-200 word response to a set question. They will also be expected to comment on postings by other group members.

Practical Activities: Each module contains an activity that participants need to complete and share with their group members. Activities vary in both mode and time required.

The course requires the completion of online lectures, discussion forums, readings and practical activities with a commitment of about 2 hours per week over 10 weeks. This time commitment is equivalent to a 3 day full time course.
