Focus on Assessment Demo Course

Before we begin, take a moment to check your course profile is up to date.

  Update your course profile

Adding a photo will make the course experience more personal and friendly. If for any reason you feel uncomfortable to use a picture of yourself, use any picture that represents you. For example, a picture of your school. Updating your email and discussion forum settings will make sure that you receive all the notifications about the course. 

1. Add a picture of yourself
2. Check your email settings
3. Check your discussion forum settings
   
   

Note: you can find full technical instructions on how to do this in the course handbook.

  Introduce yourself

Go to the Introductions thread in the Course Café and post some information about you, your students, and your school and what you are hoping to get out of the course.

For example: 

• Where do you teach? How long have you been teaching? What age groups do you teach?
  
• What type of school is it? How big is the school and how big are the classes? 
  
• Do you have any interesting or unusual hobbies outside work? 
• What do you hope you are going to learn in this course?
  
  

Read your colleagues' posts, and see what else you have in common. Interact with your colleagues and respond to at least three posts.

 Group discussions.

Throughout this course you will be working in small groups in order to facilitate collaboration and discussion. I have put you into groups and you will find the list of groups in the Course café.
