In this course you will:

  • explore what active teaching and learning looks like in practice
  • explore the potential of ICT to support active learning and teaching
  • be introduced to OER in general and, in particular, TESSA resources as a way of supporting teachers in developing active approaches – approaches that may be different from those they experienced when they were at school.

In total there are four weeks that you will need to work through to complete the course. In each week there are a set of steps. On the ‘to do’ page these are shown in white. When you have finished a page click on ‘Mark as complete’. When you go back to the ‘to do’ page the steps you have completed will be marked as blue; steps you have started but not completed will be pink; and the steps you have not done will still be white.

During the course you will be prompted to look at specific course resources. A link or copy of the document you need in that step will be available at the bottom of the page. Our intention is that these links and documents will be resources for you to use with your students after the end of the course.

We suggest you download the documents and store them, and bookmark the links on your own computer.

They are all OER, which can be adapted to suit your circumstances. We have stored the documents together so you can access them later if you want to - the link is at the bottom of this page. (Don’t worry if you are asked to login when you follow this link, as you don’t need to, just scroll down the page and you will see the course documents listed in week order.)
