The Educators won’t be able to join the discussions themselves or respond to individual comments, but the course encourages a strong learning community. The learning is focused around debate and discussion – supporting other learners, sharing your own experience and knowledge, and listening to new perspectives. We hope that you will enjoy interacting with and learning from each other in this way. Don’t forget to comment, reply to other learners and ‘like’ comments.

The online course is 2 hours per week of learning and runs for five weeks.  You can participate at your own pace and around your schedule. You will meet other professionals and educators from the industry in the discussion groups through the socially engaging platform. It will help you to:
