Q: How will the UL MOOC run?

The MOOC involves self-directed learning with all content available online. You will have a weekly list of learning activities to complete. The learning activities include pre-reading, online lessons, recorded lectures, quizzes and videos of the presenters analysing and training stroke survivors.

Q: Should I do the MOOC if I’ve done the StrokeEd three-day Face to face UL workshop or the StrokeEd online UL workshop?

You are likely to find this content beneficial for revising theoretical content and practising your analysis, clinical reasoning and intervention planning skills. In 2024 we had feedback from therapists who had done StrokeEd UL courses and still found the MOOC beneficial for revising skills and seeing a variety of other analysis and training videos.

Q: How does it differ from other StrokeED online workshops and to the 3 part online UL course also running in June?

MOOCs and online courses are both offered online. The StrokeEd MOOC is designed to run with no lecturer involvement, using an online learning management system called LearnDash, content will be covered largely by videos and quizzes. Our other StrokeEd online workshops include; an interactive learning environment with limited numbers, 2 or more presenters, all PPT notes provided in a manual, lots of videos and discussions and live Q&A
