I hope it helps.

thank you for offering the right place for us to learn English. I got a wrong one before
I think it was very nice, in addition to students learning English, students can also learn more about the virtual world and technology, and I think it is worth the try....
I am a teacher at the highschool/ college level about to take a sabbatical.
I would like to take the learning technologies course.
How do I find out when it is given so I can fit it into my schedule?
What is the 'cyber well being ' course? I can't find any info about it

I am a veteran teacher teaching at the junior high to college level.
Next year I plan to be on sabbatical, and I would like to take the learning technologies course.
Where do I find out how to register, what day it is, and what software I need to download (if any) in order to participate?

Hi,
the course sounds really interesting. How do I register for it?
I've tried contacting the British Council here in Johannesburg - but they didn't really know about this course and said they'd get back to me. Unfortunately they haven't... How can I register to do this course online?
Thanks,
Bill

Hi Bill
Sorry they didn't get back to you. As far as I'm aware, they're not running this course right now.
We don't think this system of promoting courses is working too well, so over the next few weeks we'll be changing it. Hopefully, from April onwards you will be able to sign up for a course with us directly via this site. Watch this space!
All the best
Rob
