My first tutorial under the new OU system went rather well this morning, I think.
We had a big class (bigger than before), about 18, and students came from all over the country.
It was just a one hour lesson - an introduction, so it was not possible to explain everything in great details.
I hope the session has given students some confidence in learning, and they'll continue enjoying the journey.
Technical - all went well. I did keep everything simple, by not using webtour.
Students watched 2 videos outside OU Live and we had a brief discussion.
They loved the videos - inspirational videos:
Video 1: Viktor Axelsen learns Mandarin
Great use of the Chat room - to get to know the students and some share their experiences.
