Navigating the Course

P2PU courses are organized via a list of "Tasks."  On the homepage of a course, you will see all of the Teasks for a course when you scroll down on the left.  You will also see the first Tasks on the list in the center of the page, and can click to view all of the tasks there as well.  Within these tasks is where the bulk of the learning will take place in this course.

The Tasks for this course have been divided into weeks.  Each week's "task" will include the following:

•   Readings--brief articles designed to give you some background information on the topic of the week
•   Activities--short web-base activities designed to further engage you with the week's subject matter (these may include watching videos, exploring resources, completing learning inventories, etc.)
•   Discussion--each week a question or questions are posed to the group for consideration and course participants are expected to actively engage in conversation artound the given topic (discussions in this course will take place in a designated Google Group which will be linked on each Task page)
