​A very warm welcome to everyone in Cohort 5!
​
It's been a while but, finally, we will be back together! 

After two postponements, we were determined to make this happen and we are excited to be sharing our online version with you. 

​When will the training take place?

Monday 20th September 2021
​9.00 am to 3.30 pm

This is always referred to as Day Four - a continuation of the previous 3-day training event. 

Tuesday 21st September 2021
​9.00 am to 3.30 pm

This is always referred to as Day Five - a continuation of the previous 3-day training event. 

​Wednesday 22nd September 2021
​9.00 am to 3.30 pm

This is always referred to as Day Six - a continuation of the previous 3-day training event. 

What is it all about?

This bespoke online training event has been created especially for you - Cohort 5 in West Dunbartonshire. It will consist of a series of linked learning experiences that aim to connect with those undertaken during the in-person event at the end of 2019, whilst achieving a greater depth of understanding. 

DEPTH - CHALLENGE - APPLICATION 

This training, although taking place online in a continuous 3-day period, will consist of a mixture of synchronous and asynchronous elements, all underpinned by the Five Key Concepts. This means that we will all be online at the same time for parts of each day, whilst also having the opportunity to complete some elements individually and in small groups at your own pace. 

We strongly advise that you treat this online course as if you were attending an in-person event. The sessions will be continuous and progressive for the three days - not a 'drop-in' approach.
​Find a place to join where you can immerse yourself in the experience. 

How will the training be organised?

​The online training elements will be arranged in sections for each of the days on this training website. 
​
​Each section builds upon the one before, so we would ask that participants engage with each element in sequence.

​You do not need to have previous knowledge of the online learning platforms, just an enthusiasm to engage with them. 

​As you have previously participated in our 'in person' training, you will be familiar with our design process and the types of experiences involved during our training events. We want to keep the integrity of 'Designing for Learning' and use the same principles within our online approach.

Each element will contain an opportunity to reflect individually or with others. Reflection deepens understanding, allows connections to be made and encourages the exploration of different perspectives.
