- Week 2: Personal context -- Annotated bibliography of 4 of the assigned readings in relation to research questions
- Week 3: Work on assignment 1 -- Applying theories of change to personal context
- Week 4 & Week 5: Learner's participate in SP4Ed mOOC completing assigned blog posts
- Week 6: Work on Assignment 2 -- (Newspaper articles for two scenarios)
- Week 7: Change and the organisation -- High level e-Learning capability maturity assessment of organisation
- Week 8: --- Blog post on research paper outline / Case study
