This course is constructed with a focus on the learning outcomes and building teaching materials and activities around them that support the learnings.  Because of the reflective nature and the online delivery of the course, materials can be flexible and tailored for the specific learner cohort.

The content is structured using a scaffolding approach which works well for the learner personas involved.  A lot of the learners are adult learners and have different levels of experience with business. So we start off talking about what they already know and build from there.

The formative assessments are set in a way that progress through the course is reviewed frequently and the activities designed to be personal in nature to encourage maximum engagement and allow the teachers to get to know the learners as they work with them.

The summative assessment is clear but flexible in the way the learner wishes to present their learnings which encourages successful completion.

During the first 3 weeks of the course we introduce business theories that relate to the learning outcomes of Leadership, Company Requirements and Compliance in Business.  In the 4th week we discuss an interview of two businessmen and their experiences running automotive businesses.  During the 5th week we work through some specific scenarios designed to help the learners understand how they can apply all they have learned to their current role in the workplace.

This is an example of scaffolding - infusing new learnings with the learners existing knowledge to build a greater understanding, a process the learners go through as they work through the course.

The formative assessment quizzes are designed to build on the learners knowledge gained each week by helping them to summarise what they have learnt, building on that knowledge week after week. Which also helps the material to make sense to them. For example, in the first week we teach leadership theory and then in the second week we teach company requirements, which allows us to build on how leadership affects the implementation and understanding of company requirements and compliance.

We begin the course in week one requesting the learners take a leadership quiz to identify their leadership style.  We then ask them to discuss whether they thought the quiz result was correct and why.  This instantly sets the tone of the course to be reflective and personal, therefore the learner is able to relate to the course on a personal level from the start.

The formative assessment quizzes prompt answers that are of a reflective nature, asking for the learner to answer from their own context.  For example, the leadership quiz asks them to name three qualities that make a good leader and why.  Discussions during class will have focused on leadership in the learners current context therefore the quiz allows for them to answer on a personal level.

Course materials are aimed at the learners on the course, so are presented in a way the learners can relate to. For example, discussions feature what happens in automotive businesses and are largely driven by the learners input. Articles posted usually related to the automotive industry or mechanics. Therefore the course can feel more personal to the group of learners.

There are no assessments during this week of the course, however it is a chance to reflect on the course content so far and hear experienced business men in the automotive industry talk about how they embed business strategies to run their companies.

During the first week the learners answer a quiz which identifies their personal leadership style.  By doing this we are helping the learners get to know each other by talking about themselves.  Others in the group will find out which learners have leadership styles similar to theirs and have an opportunity to create a connection with those particular learners.

To build a community of learning while delivering a course online, being methodical and organised is key.  By being consistent and offering a weekly quiz on the same day every week, learners get used to the programme of the course, what is expected of them and when they need to be looking for the new content and/or submitting/participating.

During week 5, learners answer a quiz to identify their personality types.  Results are then discussed as a group during the online class.  This encourages learners to connect by learning about and gaining new understandings about each others personality traits.

Teaching materials such as the weekly video and interesting newspaper articles are posted at the same time each week. By having all materials and activities available in the same online forum, the learners can connect the forum with being their learning place, through which a community of learning can be created by the people involved.
