Course: Stage 1 - Getting Started with EdTech > Section: 2. Moodle, Course Description & Reflective Learning Journals

Purpose: To share the description of the course that you will redesign during this EdTech course.

Timing: 50 mins

Tool: Forum; Attach text file to your post.

Tasks: Throughout the 7Cs Learning Design process you will be focusing on a course you want to design or redesign. You will be using dedicated forums to keep and share a record of your progress.

- If you are working on a course with a colleague or team who are with you in the training, then please work on the task together.
- We suggest you work on a text document to develop your course description. Feel free to copy and paste relevant parts of your existing course documentation as needed
- Then start a new discussion topic and attach the text file to your forum post/contribution.
- Make sure the subject of your forum post refers to your course name.
- Your text document should contain a brief description of your module/course, including:

  - Main topics & outcomes
  - Target audience (location, objectives, educational background, digital literacy skills, ...)
  - Expected Duration and Structure (Topic / Week)
  - Assessment Structure
  - Two or three main challenges that you expect to face in teaching the course

- You might also want to include the names of your team members (if any) in the forum post.
- Remember to press the Submit button to save your contribution to the forum when you are finished.

Response:

- Look at the contributions from colleagues about their courses. Give your constructive feedback to one or two colleagues by posting a reply to their posts.

- Please save your Course Description to your Private Files area in Moodle now. The Private Files Area is where you will store all the design documents about your course that you will produce during this EdTech course.
  - This Private Files area can be found in a block on the RHS of your screen - your facilitators will demonstrate how to do this.
