TeachingEnglish – TKT Essentials online has been created as a moderated course. This means that the course has been written as a lock-step course in which a designated group of participants work though the materials according to a schedule. They interact with each other and are led by an online tutor, who moderates discussions and develops learning points etc.
Each participant is provided with a user name and password in order to access the Moodle site. Moodle can normally be accessed from a computer with little difficulty, even computers with limited bandwidth, though this should be checked before a course opens. The video tutorials are the most bandwidth-hungry site feature, so use of these might be best avoided if you are using a particularly modest internet connection.
