7. How this course works

This is a participatory course. By sharing your experiences confidentially with other members of your online class, we are hopeful that this course  can be rewarding and beneficial for all of you.

We feel that Teaching and Learning is a two-way street.

Our commitment to you:

  • Provide a format and structure to the various topics on the course
  • Encourage and facilitate discussion through various activities
  • Answer your queries and posts in good time, usually within 24 hours - not including weekends when our tutors are not working
  • Make sure you are comfortable participating on the course

What we ask in return

  • Participate in the activities and ask questions if you are stuck
  • Try to connect ideas and concepts we will tell you about to your experience in the real world of family caring
  • Share your experiences on the forums so that others can learn from them
  • Respect other participants privacy by not sharing any of the disclosed information on any external sites or social media
