3.6. Step 5 - Running a Course (Teaching and Learning)

Step 5 deals with teaching and learning.

The interface for students allows your participants to attend your published course (see step 3 and 4) containing your learning material prepared by you according to step 1 and 2. In case you have also planned some teamwork, the feature "Group management" will be at your participants' disposal as well.

As course administrator you have access to
- the student's interface,
- the group management (administration of participants and groups),
- the rights management (allocation of specific rights regarding group management, data archiving, course editor, assessment tools),
- data archiving (download od course data), and
- an assessment tool (meant for assessing students manually).

As soon as you have nominated coaches or tutors and allocated groups these tutors will be able to manage their group and assess the participants by means of the relevant tools.
