The Methodological Strand of the LANCELOT course

(Transcript of the recording) Gary Motteram: These slides here really just take us through the kind of things we did. The idea was to bring these elements together in the course so that people would get the sense of what is happening. So the course itself consists of this material, that has particular elements to it, like the objectives for the course, it has group session and peer-to-peer, which has been talked about and each unit was set up in a way, that the students were coming in, the participants were coming were well aware of what they have to do and work together to prepare themselves for the group sessions.

The ways, we will come to accreditation lateron, but the actual course itself has been set up with both a development portfolio and an observation of teaching practise as elements of teacher assessment. So that was how we decided to develop that.

And what happens then is all of the things are brought together, all of the different parts of the course, so, there is a group forum up there on the left hand side, there are tools, there are asynchronous and synchronous tools that are being used that is part of the development program.

And that brings us onto the actual training sessions that occur in this kind of typical environment. So, I am going to pass over then to one of the participants, one of the trainees who took part of the course to give you a little flavor of what she has done post the course. So to show that, we have done it, there is somebody who has been involved in this and she can actually tell you about what she is doing now.... (End of Transcript)
