      Overview

      In this final unit, we'll be looking back and looking forward, revisiting key topics and themes with some experience behind us, and a mind to the future and applying what we've learned.

      This includes:

      • considering the assessment of online participation and the role of rubrics
      • engaging in reflective practice - what that looks like, what tools we might use to be reflective practitioners
      • re-visiting some key themes of the course from our (now) more informed and experienced perspective: facilitation strategies, online presence, and online participation

    • Week 5 Activities
