S2: The Stream Experience online course

An online course that allows participants to experience the Stream environment for themselves. The course is delivered asynchronously in Stream over two weeks with the major emphasis on pedagogy and principles of good practice. The first week provides a facilitator-led introduction to blended learning and teaching. The second week allows an opportunity to explore different aspects of Stream and related resources that are most relevant to your own situation.
