Dyslexia International
invites you to enroll on our
Massive Open Online Course (‘MOOC’)
on best practice in teaching literacy and supporting children with difficulties
in reading and writing, and to spread the word! This new MOOC is based on the highly acclaimed original online course directed by Dr Vincent Goetry.
Designed in collaboration
with the University of London Institute of Education, our new MOOC is currently in production
with the London University Coursera team. Stanford University were
the originators of the Coursera platform where over 7 million
users currently access over 500 courses without charge.
The Coursera Consortium is
making huge efforts to bring its courses to the Asian subcontinent and Africa
in particular where there is a crying need better to train more teachers.
The MOOC is:
• free of charge
• requires only focus and
commitment across a six week period from the start date - early October 2014
(day to be announced).
• awards a Certificate by
the University of London for a modest fee to those who complete the course with
distinction and conform to Coursera requirements.
To fully understand the
positive effect of Coursera MOOCs
as online training tools, please see Professor Daphne Koller of Stanford in her
introductory TED video:
