Teaching methods
After being presented with theory and having discussions of this theory, students will try out the methods in practice by helping to moderate online learning discussions. The work will take place primarily online, with the possibility to have discussion in person to resolve issues.
Assessment methods
The practical part of the assessment invovles active participation in moderating forums in the English Online course. Students are also required to reflect on their experiences gained during the course. This involves reflections on the application of the theory presented. Students can gain points through the practical moderation (4 points a week) and through reflections (4 points a week). This leaves 100 total points. 80 points are required to pass the class.
