Online & F2F Activities
1. Even though the participants followed most of the direction in the online course, most of them did not submit a complete lesson plan that included the ICT and 21st Century Skills to be developed. The course developer already provided the guidelines/template and evaluation items that the participants should refer while they were developing the lesson plan. This situation was corrected in the face to face workshop activities. 2. The attrition of this course is quite high. From 132 participants registered, only about 40% (49 participants) that actively participated. 3. The rest of participants only accessed the program to read the materials but they did not do the exercises, assignments as well as involved in the discussion forum. 4. The passive participants mostly gave reason that they are too busy since the course began on October which is the busy work time for them or holiday time. 5. The participants stated that the course was too short while they thought that there are a lot of activities such as exercises and assignments that need to be done within one month. So they advised that the course should take longer time, probably 1,5 months. 6. The English abilities of participants played important roles in the quality of their participation especially the quality of discussion, exercises and assignments.
