Unit 3: Learning and Memory

6. Attending the Online Tutorial

You are invited to attend the Unit 3 online tutorial, where you can meet your tutors and fellow students and discuss how you can best support senior language learners using the concepts you have come across in this unit. You will also start planning your next language learning activity.

This is an overview of the programme for the Unit 3 online tutorial:

- Which learning strategies could you use to support your senior learners best in their learning process? How can you create 'in-the-moment' experiences and bring an element of co-creation to your language learning together?

- What factors may affect the learning process, and what could you do to optimise learning with your senior learner/s?

- What role does the changed relationship between the carer and the cared for play in the learning process?

- Planning your application task together.

Remember to bring your learning diary with the notes you have taken in Unit 3 so far to the tutorial.

Refer to your study planner for the date and time of the Unit 3 tutorial and where to access it.

If this is your first Zoom tutorial, please complete steps 1-2.

1. Take some time to familiarise yourself with the Zoom software here, in advance of your online tutorial. This link will also provide information on how to check that your computer has the minimum system requirements to run Zoom.

2. To ensure you have the best possible experience during the online tutorials, we advise you to use a headset with microphone to avoid interference and any background noise. This is the same type of headset you would use for any online conferencing, you do not have to buy an expensive headset to use Zoom.

There is no expectation that participants use the camera during the live tutorial sessions. Yet, we do welcome all who are keen to use this tool as it supports engaging and interactive tutorial experiences.
