What are the self-study modules in Digital citizenship and online skills?

Module 1 – Digital footprint

The aim of this module is to help you as a language teacher know how you leave a footprint or trail as you navigate your online life and why you must be aware of that footprint and its influence on your and your learners' futures. You will learn how your footprint is built and where it can be found, what impact this footprint can have and how to build one that serves you well.

Module 2 – Digital empathy

The aim of this module is to help you as a language teacher think about yourself and your learners as part of the online community, and how your words and actions can have a positive impact on that community.

Module 3 – Critical thinking online

The aim of this module is to help you as a language teacher differentiate between different types of digital media and guide your learners to think critically about the information they encounter online. You will explore different types of media, how they can be manipulated to influence outcomes as well as learning to sort truth from fake news.

Hi Dear
How can I register this course plz?

Hi Reem, 

These instructions below should get you into the course :). Remember that they work from the first course day scheduled, becasue the course is 'available' from that date.  The first step is for you to either log into your existing account with us, or create one and log in if you haven't got one.  I hope you enjoy the course!

Best regards,

How do I sign up for the course?

Thanks

Thank you so much.

Wonderful

Hi. I am finding it difficult to register. When I log into my account I see other courses but not the 1 I want to register in. I can't see my portfolio option.
Could you please help?

Hi Houcine,

The course starts on the 19th July, if you can see other courses on your profile now it means it's working fine, and you'll be able to join us on the 19th.

Me too i can't find my portfolio

Hi Malak,

Check that you are not logged into your TeachingEnglish account on a different device or browser. Log out of your account on all devices and browsers, and log in again. See if you can see your portfolio, Click or tap 'My courses' from there. You should be taken to your training course from the day it starts (19th July). If you still can't access your course, log out, clear the cache on your browser and log in again.

Hope that helps and you can start the course on the 19th!

Hi Narmadha,

I'm not sure why you can't see it - log on ( make sure your are logged out of other devices), go to 'My Portfolio' then 'My courses' and you should see the 'My awards' menu - it's visible on your account from this side, and you have a certificate for the 'Climate action' course.

I have tried registering for the course but it has not been successful because my image is said to have been sent for moderation.

Hi MrSlaih,

I imagine you will hear from them soon ( try logging in again after 2/3 days). Remember that the course starts on the 19th July, if you haven't heard anything new use the help button to remind them and you'll be able to join us on the 19th. If you haven't heard write back here :)

How shall I know if I register successfully or not?

Hi Alaa,

If you have created an account, make sure you are logged in. Then you will see a tab next to the Home button on the top of this page that says "My Portfolio" - if you click on this and then "My courses", this will take you to the courses homepage.   From here you can click on "Explore all courses" (a green tab on the right) - you will be able to see all the available courses, and can click on "Enrol in activity" for the course that interest you.

Hope that helps, hope you enjoy the course!
