Thorn Learning developed the online self-study module, Getting started, to support British Council TeachingEnglish open learning courses for teachers built on Rise 360.
The module introduces learners to the five elements of TeachingEnglish training experiences: Core modules, online events and webinars, learning community, and the accompanying workbook and resource pack. In addition to developing familiarity and confidence with the options and learning tools available to them, users also explore strategies for successfully leveraging them, through the use of effective online learning strategies.
The interactive module’s learning aims, overall structure and individual assets were designed and created by the Thorn Learning team. Built on Rise 360, the module includes a range of multimedia assets featuring animation, interviews with educators, and instructional, ‘How to…’ videos.
From July 2023, the module features in courses within the British Council’s 2023-24 open learning programme for teachers, a free series of courses for language teachers around the world. Learn more about the programme and upcoming courses.
