Welcoming over 900 participants, we launched the Open Course in Technology Enhanced Learning\u00a0(ocTEL)<\/a>\u00a0on Monday, 28th April 2014.<\/p>\n

ocTEL is a 7-week Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) to help participants \u00a0understand better how to use technology to enhance teaching practices.<\/p>\n

The open, flexible nature of ocTEL means we’d argue that you cannot fail the course or fail to complete it. It\u2019s really about getting ocTEL to\u00a0work for you\u00a0<\/a>and setting your goals, so that they may\u00a0guide your path<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A good way to get more acquainted with how ocTEL works is to watch the first\u00a0webinar<\/a>, which includes a panel session featuring questions and answers for ocTEL tutors and participants from last year\u2019s course.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s course incorporates\u00a0digital badges\u00a0<\/a>so you will have something to show for participating.<\/p>\n

ocTEL runs until the week of 16 June 2014 and will be covering content related to learners and learning; \u00a0materials, platforms and technologies; support, feedback and assessment; leadership, management and keeping on track; and enhancement, review and evaluation.<\/p>\n

Registration\u00a0<\/a>remains open throughout the course. For more information, see the course platform:http:\/\/octel.alt.ac.uk\/2014\/<\/a>\u00a0and follow news and discussions on Twitter using #ocTEL.<\/p>\n
