Course Overview


Welcome to Train the Trainer MOOC!

You're joining hundreds of learners currently enrolled in the course. We are excited to have you in the class and look forward to your contributions to the learning community.

This MOOC is designed to be flexible.

What that means is that seven modules are covering seven different topics.

You don't have to go through the modules in any sequential way.

You can choose to look at the modules that are of most interest to you, or you can do all the modules, but you can choose which ones to do first, and which ones to do later.

We want you to use the activities in this MOOC to find out more about yourself, your teaching context, and what your needs really are.

So make sure that you think about your own situation and use the MOOC as a personal learning tool.

To begin, we recommend taking a few minutes to explore the course site. Review the material we'll cover, and preview the assignments you'll need to complete to pass the course.

Good luck as you get started, and we hope you enjoy the course!
