Now i’m really quite new to wp. however what you write in this website is really outstanding and very useful. I believe it will help me later on. Thanks to the great work.
Assuming that the length of each module is similar, how long is a module?
Is course work submitted at the end of module? Can you give an indication as to the size of an typical piece of work?
How many hours do you estimate would be needed to be given to the course in a typical week?
What happens if a course participant falls behind with course work or submissions?
I think that my peak work patterns will fall at times in the course when pressure is on to submit course work, is there any scope for flexibility to accomodate this, for example having course materials ahead of time?
