Like all of our online courses, ‘mLearning in Practice’ is offered 100% online in Moodle. It is fully tutor supported , with one tutor for every 10 participants, and two tutors for courses with 11 to 15 participants. 15 is the maximum group size. This means that you get a lot of personalised support, and are in constant contact with your tutor and course colleagues.
For this course, we will also be offering the content for mobile applications such as iPhones, the iPad, etc., through dedicated Moodle apps such as mTouch.
mLearning in Practice’ consists of a total of 30 hours work, and runs over six weeks. You are expected to spend about 5 hours per week on online individual, pair and collaborative group work, including offline reading and reflection. Deadlines for task completion are weekly, and you can log on at any point during the week to work on the course.
There are no 'fixed' times to be online - apart from regular timetabled online video conferencing sessions, once every two weeks. The times of these video conferencing sessions are negotiated on a per course basis to suit everyone in the group. You will receive a detailed study timetable to help you organise your workload effectively once you have enrolled on the course.
