Coffee Courses

Coffee courses are an easy way to learn new ideas for using technology in your teaching. Each coffee course covers a topic in education technology, teaching online, digital tools, pedagogy, or trends in technology. It is equivalent to a one- or two-hour face-to-face training session, but is done at your own pace from your own desk.

Each course contains a few blog posts for you to work through. Each one should take about 15-20 minutes to work through – just enough time to enjoy a cup of coffee (or tea, or whatever you prefer). You can do any course at any time and all are welcome to participate.
