Author-led programmes

Courses with a clear purpose.

We are preparing a place for courses by different educators and authors: connected modules, source material, practical work and a defined learning outcome. Complete author-led programmes are not open for enrolment here yet.

The planned course experience

Understand. Explore. Apply. Reflect.

A course needs a reason for every lesson and activity. This is the structure we are developing for author-led programmes.

  1. 01 · ORIENT

    A clear purpose

    Know the topic, the intended audience and what you are working towards before you start.

  2. 02 · STUDY

    Connected lessons

    Move through modules with source reading, explanations and media selected for each topic.

  3. 03 · APPLY

    Meaningful practice

    Work with a question, reflection, exercise or creative project that relates to the lesson.

  4. 04 · REVIEW

    A visible outcome

    Review what you have made or understood using the course criteria and any stated feedback arrangements.

Before you enrol

The course page should let you make an informed choice.

  • Named author, subject and learning outcomes
  • Language, starting level and estimated study time
  • Module outline and included materials
  • Access conditions, cost if any, and available support

Practice and feedback

Activities may include a study journal, an analysis, an artwork or another applied project. Each course should explain what to do and how to review the result.

Self-study and tutor-supported learning have different requirements. Feedback, submission and assessment arrangements will be stated for each published programme.

For educators & authors

Bring your subject into a course.

Define the learner, the outcome and the source material. Use the course outline planner, then prepare one complete sample lesson for editorial discussion.
