Course overview
This three-week course is divided into four lessons. During each lesson we will be collaborating to identify key issues, engaging in discussions and asking questions. We will be focusing on the following areas:
- Syllabus challenges - how we plan for these and measure the effectiveness of our interventions.
- Understanding the marking principles and assessment structure.
- Applying marking principles.
- Using formative feedback to support student progress.
Before you start the course, you should familiarise yourself with what to expect in each lesson and how to make the most of your time. If you are new to online learning, take a couple of minutes to read our guide to What is online learning? to find out how to make the most of your time on this course.

Course discussions
Over the next three weeks, conversations will take place in whole class and group discussion forums. You will find separate discussion forums for each of the key themes. These discussions will help you develop your understanding and share ideas and experiences.
The Course café is where I will contact you with information such as course deadlines or urgent messages and where I will post the list of groups. The café is also for general discussions about the syllabus, your teaching or any other subject you want to discuss. You can access the Course café and discussion forums from the sidebar.
We recommend that you check the forums every day to make sure that you keep up with the discussions.The use of AI in online professional development courses
Cambridge recognises the developing role of AI tools in education and their responsible use.
On our professional development courses, please ensure you abide by the following guidelines:
- No Cambridge Assessment
International Education course content or materials should be submitted to
generative AI tools without explicit permission from the intellectual
property owner. This includes, but is not limited to syllabuses, course
content, past papers, schemes of work, mark schemes and candidate answers.
- If you use AI tools to support your engagement in your course, please do this in line with the principles of academic honesty and plagiarism.
Course completion
Reflection is key to effective learning and relating knowledge to your experience. Each lesson has questions to help you reflect on what you learned and how it relates to your teaching experience. To complete the course and receive your certificate, you must fully participate in the collaborative activities throughout the course.
The course checklist in the sidebar shows your progress throughout the course. You are not expected to be online at particular times of the day, but you must complete the activities within the week they are set. Failure to do this will mean these activities will not be marked as complete.
Note: If you are going to be absent from the course for more than 5 days or cannot continue with the course, contact your tutor.
Your certificate
You will receive a certificate at the end of the course provided you meet the following criteria:
- A certificate of participation is awarded to participants who complete some of the tasks on the course to a satisfactory level.
- A certificate of completion is awarded to participants who complete all the tasks on the course to a satisfactory level.
