Course Content, Registration and Certifications

It is a free program on SEAMEO priority areas #5 for ʻRevitalizing Teacher Educationʼ and #7 for ʻAdopting 21st Century Curriculumʼ. CRICED, University of Tsukuba, Japan, provides the certifications to participants at the end of the course.
Each online lecture will be provided on a consecutive sequence based on the course roadmap. Participants cannot skip any lesson because each lesson uses ideas which were already discussed. At the end of each lesson, participants need to do a short questionnaire for knowing how the lessons worked. Only participants that answer the questionnaire will receive the URL for the next lecture. The feedback from participants is used for evaluation of the program and attendance confirmation, but not as an evaluation of the participants.
