FEEDBACK FROM PREVIOUS WORKSHOPS

“Thank you very much for offering the programme and putting so much thoughtfulness and guidance into it. It has helped in substantially in formally getting my thoughts together for a new community and for helping me reflect on the existing community and how that came into being. The programme length was just about right for me in relation to work commitments” TG

“I have enjoyed this programme and it has really helped me realise how important planning and preparation is. I have lots of new terms and explanations that I can now use as evidence of good practice. I have also had time to explore different types of communities and see how powerful they can be.” FQ

“Jane, a big thank you for offering a stimulating and rewarding course. I have yet to complete days 9 and 10 but will be doing so in the next day or so, but I have gained much useful information from the course – not least how to facilitate an engaging online teaching and learning experience! And of course thank you to all course participants who provided excellent discussion and food for thought.” TR
