Overview

This sample course is a free course consisting of four sample lessons, each of which is taken from one of our courses. The sampler includes examples of the various activities/interactive elements used in our more developed and focused courses, including discussion forums, content-based lessons, quizzes, and so on.

The course is provided so that you can familiarise yourself with the way Moodle (the platform OWL uses to deliver courses) works, and determine whether it will work for you. There is no feedback provided as part of this course, and only limited interaction with the course facilitators.

You can login to this course as a guest or as a student. A guest has read-only access to the material; a student can interact more fully with the course materials, posting your own writing, taking the quizzes and so on.

From the date you sign up, your enrolment will stay active for 60 days.

Prerequisites

There are no prerequisites for this course, which is designed for beginners, as well as those wishing to refresh their understanding of the fundamentals of the writing craft.
