The
course is structured around
the Activities that need
to be completed. There are
5 Activities throughout
the course.
The
course is made up of 3
parts:
- Phase 1:
This is made up of the
Getting Started Module
and Modules 1 –
3. All of these Modules
have an Activity that
needs to be completed.
The work carried out
for the Activities will
be submitted to the
group via email. There
will be ongoing e-mail
engagement with your
online mentor and community
of peers and continual
feedback will also be
provided via e-mail
by your mentor. This
phase of the course
is expected to comprise
30 notional hours of
learning over a period
of a month.
- Phase 2:
This is the 5 day workshop
which will be held in
Johannesburg. Topics
covered in this phase
will comprise of Module
4 and other matters
which are better suited
to a workshop environment.
This phase will also
provide participants
unique opportunities
to work through practical
activities, share experiences
and problems.
- Phase 3:
This is the final phase
of the course and comprises
Module 6 and the final
Activity – creating
a business plan for
your Technical Service
Centre. All the learning
done throughout the
course is integrated
into this phase. This
phase will comprise
further online interaction
and 20 notional hours
of learning for two
months. This will bring
the course to its conclusion.
Two
of the Modules (Module
4 and 5) do not have activities.
The topics covered in
Module 4 are integrated
into the 5 day workshop.
The information contained
in Module 5 is integrated
into Modules 1, 3 and
6
The
place to start is the
Getting Started
module which contains
the introductory activity.
Unlike all the other modules,
this module does not have
any resources. All the
other modules have quite
extensive resource sections
- online/offline
resources. This
section of each module
is made up of Resources
and Back-up resources/Additional
Info. The Resources
section contains essential
readings. Back-up
resources/Additional Info
contains readings and
website links that are
not essential to read
in order to complete the
necessary activities.
These back-up resources
and additional information
can be read in your own
time.
When
submitting emails to your
group or mentor, please
remember to always describe
what the email contains
or is about in the subject
line of the email so that
whoever receives it, is
aware of the subject matter.
