Unit 5: Creative Ageing - Opportunities and Outlook

9.0 Attending the Online Tutorial

You are invited to attend the Unit 5 online tutorial, where you can meet your tutors and fellow students and discuss creative ways of continuing to learn a language with your senior learners.

Refer to your study planner for the date, time and access link to the Unit 5 tutorial.

This is an overview of the programme for the Unit 5 online tutorial:

- A short summary discussion of aspects of bilingualism in social care linking and how linking language and art can support wellbeing

- Presentation and discussion of your planned creative activities for your language learning group (Please bring along any inter-generational, role-play, music, visual art and/or non-verbal communication activities you have prepared in Unit 5 so far).

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