Course Overview [Page 2]
You can take the five sections in any order, but do not finish
the course assignment until you have finished all five sections.
You are expected to bring to the course your life experiences
as learner and/or instructor. It is important that you remember
what you already know and then add to it the new information
derived from the course. This is called scaffolding. Your ability
to recall and use the new information is often contingent on this scaffolding
process.
There are several advantages to taking a course on the Internet.
- You can stop working through the material whenever you want
to.
- You can continue when it is convenient to you at the same
place you left off.
- You choose the sequencing of the sections after you have completed
this introduction to the course
- You can repeat any of the sections as many times as you want
or need to. This repetition can take place long after you have
completed the course.
- You can take as many coffee breaks as you want and you can
take them on the Internet. There are several of them built into
the course. They are designed for your interest and also to continue
your education of the Internet.
To gain credit for this course for the Certificate of Adult Education
(CAE), you must complete one assignment satisfactorily. This
will be explained later in the course (slide show "Course
Assignment").
The focus of this course and program is on teaching adults. There
are similarities between adult learners and young learners as
well as differences. As well there are similarities and differences
between teaching adults and teaching the youth. As you move through
the course keep making the comparisons.
Have fun while you move through the various sections.
