ABSTRACT
Chapter 1 focused on what happens in the class or session. In this chapter, we look at the larger canvas of the course as a whole. By ‘course’ here is meant a self-contained piece of curriculum, such as a unit or module, which is complete in itself even though it may form part of a wider programme. Such a course will typically comprise a series of sessions, perhaps of various kinds, over a period of time that will often last for a term or semester but may extend over anything from a weekend to an academic year.
