Thorn Learning supported the development of the online course, ‘TeachingEnglish: Online skills for remote teaching’, by reviewing and reworking existing online learning modules, creating an up-to-date and globally relevant 9-hour training experience for an audience of English language teachers.
The final course, built in Articulate Rise and accessed from an eCom Scotland LMS, covers:
• Understanding remote teaching (3 x units)
• Planning and adapting materials (3 x units)
• Managing remote learning (3 x units)
Learners engaging with the self-study online learning content have access to further pedegogical support through a private social media-based learning community (currently 30k members), also coordinated by Thorn Learning.
The course features in 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.
