Learning Hub
Welcome to the learning hub for this course. This is where we pick up our lessons and exercises, questions, answers, comments etc. for one another to read in their own time.
I read all posts and will respond if needed. I also post feedback and comments on lesson exercises as we go along. You will be encouraged to do the same.
If you want to start a new topic on any subject scroll down the page to the button saying ‘Topic Title‘. Give your topic a name in this box (otherwise it won’t work). Below that is a large box where you write your text. Once you have done that scroll to the bottom and click the submit button.
Use the Learning Hub button at the top of the page to see the drop down menu to navigate to all lessons, associated materials and the discussion area.
There is a ‘let’s get to know each other’ topic under lesson one where you can all introduce yourselves. You will also find the ice breaker exercise under lesson one.
