How this course works and what to expect
We are delighted to have you join us in our mission to make the most of assistive technology to help students with additional learning needs.
How does the course work:
This is a completely self-paced course, however, we are going to support you via email and on our private Facebook group, where we answer any queries you might have.
There are 10 sections in total, with a number of lessons in each section.
Your commitment:
- Review the content in each lesson - these will be mainly video based, with some extra links/materials for you to review in your own time.
- Time wise, it will take you around 20 hrs of learning. This is broken down into the online materials, extra resources we post and the reflection questions within each section.
Included in this course are:
- Demonstrations of different assistive technologies that can help students with additional learning needs in the areas of reading, writing and maths.
- Downloads to help you find that exact bit of information you need to get going when you are pressed for time.
- Reflection questions to help you think about how you might help students solve particular problems using assistive technology
- Live office hours on Facebook where we will answer your questions and clarify any queries you have - this will be done via a Live Video on our private Facebook group and then uploaded onto the course content pages here.
- Access to a private Facebook group where you can share your thoughts, queries, and experiences of using assistive technology with other SNAs and teachers on the course.
