      Mini courses for Teacher Associations

      You will find below links to a series of mini courses to support the new Networks pages on this site for teacher groups and associations. They provide training on how to manage teacher networks. We will be adding a new course every two months, so watch this space!

      Each mini course includes five sections and should last about an hour. The design is very straightforward - you just need to follow the instructions and do the tasks in each section. The links to the courses are below - you need to log in/register to access them. Current courses are:

      • How to organise a face-to-face training programme
      • Organising a small-scale online training programme
      • How to increase and sustain membership

      Some tasks include resources like videos, files, exercises, and links to websites. Most of the resources (apart from links to external websites) open on the same window, and you should click on the back arrow on your browser to return to previous page.

      The mini courses can be used for self-study and/or adapted for face to face training workshops.

      We hope you find them useful and enjoyable!

      When I try to enter this course, I get the message that 'the course is currently unavailable to students'. Is it really so at the moment or do I need to enrol somehow?

      Hi and thanks for letting us know. It's working OK for me at the moment - do you get this message after you enter your password again?

      Thanks

      Sorry scales, think one of the settings had been mistakenly adjusted. I've fixed this now and tested it so should be working.

      The same problem for me - my password is not accepted on the Moodle site. Could it probably be caused by my other password I use as an e-moderator?

      Hi,

      Well, I guess I am having the same problem as my colleagues described above. I can´t access the course. I can log in and am directed to a page to complete with my data but can´t go any further than that.

       

      Any clues?

      Thanks!

      Hi Gaby,

      Glad it's working for you now - hope you find the course useful.

      Please do get in touch if anyone continues to have problems accessing the courses. You will be prompted to re-enter your TeachingEnglish password and will be asked whether you want to enrol on the course.

      Good luck,

      Hi Debora

      Yes, try logging in with cookies allowed, and you should be OK. You just need to put in your TeachingEnglish password again when you reach the training course page. 

      If you still have problems, just let me know which browser you're using, and also exactly what happens when you click on the links to the courses - I'll then see if I can solve the problem for you!

      All the best

      Rob

      We don't have certificates for these courses right now... but watch this space! We will be changing the training courses pages over the next few months, and we would like to make certificates available.

      Hello all!

      To access the courses, please click on the one you are interested in, and enter your TeachingEnglish password. On the next page, on the right side of the page, please click 'create new account'. Fill in your details and you should then be able to access the courses.

      Enjoy!

      Hi I too am having problems accessing the material on this page. When I click it takes me to a page where I have to reenter my password - which I do, correctly, and it doesn't accept it, just like Andrea above. Will I have to also create a new account to access this? Hope not! Thanks, Helen
