  • in reply to: Are "readiness" questionnaires really useful? #2686

    i also wondered about how well students know how they learn and if they would be able to answer all these questions accurately. I got through my undergraduate and two professional qualifications without any conscious awareness of what my learning style was or even that I might have one. Also asking what someone would do in an emergency (i.e. you computer breaking down the day before an assignment is due) does not mean that their answer is what they will actually do.

    Maybe the questionnaires are better at getting people to think about whether they are really ready to do the online course and to raise their awareness of the differences and challenges it holds.

    I teach on using technology and media in TESOL at Westminster University, UK, and teach EAP at another institution. I was hoping there would be some other EFL tutors on this course. I’m glad I’ve found you.

    I think a google+ circle is a nice idea.
