The course site – Canvas learning management system!
Upon your registration you will be sent an invite to the canvas learning management system. This is where you find all information about the course, how to participate, course overview, course design, learning activities, community, tools, background etc. Each week we publish information and instructions for the latest topic. You can check how this looked like the in a previous course overview.
Different levels of openness
Completely open course site
The course site will be open. Anyone with the link to the course can access this page, and you can also share the link if you want to. As a non-registered learner you can still “tag along”, read all the information on this course site, and also visit our webinars if you want to. You cannot though see comments and group work if you are not registered.
The course community
Within the course there are some discussion forums. To access these you need to log in as a participant. If you don’t log in you don’t see the discussion forums. This makes the discussions safe for only participants in this course. In the discussions you can present yourself to the community, share your group’s work with other groups and post your personal learning reflections so that other participants within the community can read them.
The PBL group
Each PBL group has it’s own group space. On the left hand side in the main manu of Canvas you can find your group (when you have been assigned to a group). This is where the group work takes place and where you will discuss and work on the topics. At the start of the course, you will automatically be assigned to your PBL group and get access to your PBL group space.
