Using the course announcements tool
Description
Ongoing support throughout an online course or activity is an essential part of your duties as a facilitator. As you maintain your presence in the online space, you will need to respond and react to the discussion and activity of your learners. You will need to attentively monitor and observe your learners’ activity, noticing when they might be experiencing difficulties. You will need to provide learners with guidance about their language use, helping them to better understand the target language of the course.
Ongoing support for the learning space will enable learners increased access to all aspects of the course space and materials by way of letting learners know that they are on the right learning path.
This resource is a description of ways to use the course announcements tool that can help support language learning. It includes suggestions for providing ongoing support throughout a course and an example video.
