PD
0Doing a MOOC is valuable reflective practice for educators
0Comparing different platforms & course structures raises awareness of possibilities & helps us think about what works best for our own online teaching
0 Just being in student role informs teaching practice better than a whole lot of talk
0Doing online courses in other languages helps you relate to the experience of our L2 learners, and consider what is needed - in visualised navigation, in task design, in resourcing, interaction & support
