Course objectives
The course aims to promote students' competence in learning. The course responds to the emergence of MOOCs (massive open online courses) and microcredits as modern forms of differentiating learning. Students will gain experience in an online course in an area of study relevant to them while learning to analyze and describe the courses critically. Emphasis is also placed on their ability to learn in an online environment. Specific content objectives are determined by the student's selection of online courses.
Learning outcomes
Upon completion of the course the student will be able to:
- study online courses
- autonomously expand and differentiate their studies and learning paths
- analyze the methods and procedures of designing and implementing online courses
- create and follow their own study plan
