Manual del instructor
This manual has four sections, as follows :
1. Access to the platform
2. Access to the guides
3. Structure of the guides
4. Evidence management
1. Access to the platform
Likewise the other SENA virtual courses, English (dot) works A1 Level 2 is
hosted in the Blackboard platform. To access the course, you can either
follow the corresponding link in Sofia Plus or go directly to the Blackboard
homepage, as shown below:
2 /25
It is important to check that the course you are about to access is the one identified
as 201309052: english(dot)works 2.0 A1 Level 2. Once you have accessed, you
can see an interface like the one presented below:
2. Access to the guides
In SENA face-to-face sessions, both instructors and apprentices work based on
learning guides whose information is organized in a standardized institutional
form. In the case of virtual learning, that information appears in the guides in a
multimedia format, that is, in a digital interactive version.
To access the guides, just click on the button Learning Guides, located on the left
column of the course interface.
3 /25
Once you click on that button, a set of folders will be shown. Each folder corresponds
to the different multimedia guides of the A1-Level 2 course: Diagnosis Activity,
Learning Activity 1, Learning Activity 2, Learning Activity 3, and Consolidation
Activity. The interface must look like this:
Remember that you have to scroll down in order to see the folders of all the guides
of the course.
4 /25
3. Structure of the guides
The course consists of three kinds of guides: Diagnosis, Learning, and Consolidation
which, in turn, correspond to three different kinds of activities.
Diagnosis Guide
The Diagnosis Guide is intended to help the apprentice to have an introductory
approach to the course. In this regard, this guide includes some lexical review
materials and two exams: an introductory test and a final test. None of these tests
is hosted is Blackboard, but inside the guide itself. It means that both the questions
and the answers are managed in a multimedia format. However, the results of the
last one of these tests will be linked to the Score Center (Centro de Calificaciones).
To access the Diagnosis Guide, click on the corresponding button, next to the
folder icon:
5 /25
Once you access the folder, you will see a label identifying the Diagnosis Guide
and a title button. By clicking on such button, you can open the multimedia guide,
as shown below:
This multimedia guide has, basically, four components from top to bottom: a
section title, a main visualization screen, a navigation panel, and a help button.
Such components are illustrated below:
6 /25
The section title indicates what section of the guide you are currently in; the
main visualization screen shows the contents of the guide; the navigation
panel allows you to browse throughout the guide by means of the three section
buttons, a pointer arrow or simply using the keyboard arrows; and the help button
will show you two options: a video help about the guides, and a downloadable
version of the guide. This downloadable version corresponds to the classical SENA
form for learning guides.
To start browsing throughout the Diagnosis Guide, just click on the Start-up button.
This button will take you to a brief introductory situation before working on the
guide. Then, when clicking on the central button, you will find, on the one hand,
a self-assessment test to check understanding of some lexical and grammatical
aspects; on the other hand, apprentices will find a set of links to learning materials
to reinforce their knowledge before taking a second interactive test. This second
test is not for self-evaluation and will be linked to the Score Center (Centro de
Calificaciones). Finally, the third navigation button (Further) will take you to a set
of external links to some support materials on the web.
7 /25
Learning Guide
In A1-Level 2, there are three learning guides that share the same structure. These
guides are intended to provide apprentices with learning materials and ask
them for evidences of their knowledge, performance or product development.
To access any of the Learning Guides, click on the corresponding button, next
to the folder icon:
Once you access the folder, you will see a label identifying the Learning Guide
and a title button. By clicking on such button, you can open the multimedia
guide, as shown below:
8 /25
This type of multimedia guide has the same five components of the diagnosis
guide: a section title, a main visualization screen, a navigation panel, and a help
button. Such components are illustrated below:
9 /25
To start browsing throughout any of the Learning Guides, just click on the Startup button. This button will take you to a brief introductory video about how to
work on the guide. When clicking in the central button, you can see an intro subbutton and several other buttons that take you to the stages that the apprentices
have to go through in order to complete the learning activity. The way to manage
the content of the stages will be described in more detail in the Evidence
management section of this manual. Finally, by clicking on the “Further” button,
you will access a set of external links to some support materials on the web.
Consolidation guide
The Consolidation Guide is intended to help the apprentices to improve their
previous work in the learning guides. To access the Consolidation Guide, click on
the corresponding button, next to the folder icon:
10 /25
Once you access the folder, you will see a label identifying the Consolidation Guide
and a title button. By clicking on such button, you can open the multimedia guide,
as shown below:
This type of multimedia guide has the same five components of the diagnosis and
learning guides: a section title, a main visualization screen, a navigation panel,
and a help button. Such components are illustrated below:
11 /25
However, this type of multimedia guide only has two navigation buttons: Start-up
and Stages. The Start-up button will take you to a brief welcome and video tutorial
about what apprentices have to do. The Stages button will show you a set of steps
that the apprentice has to go through in order to complete the activity.
12 /25
4. Evidence management
Based on the methodological approach of SENA, the training process includes the
work on different learning activities to develop three types of evidences: product,
performance and knowledge. In every virtual guide (diagnosis, learning and
consolidation), the instructions to hand in or fulfill the tasks are located after the
introductory video.
13 /25
When selecting each stage, you will find a slide with the components of every
task the apprentices have to fulfill.
The apprentices need to identify the things they have to do in every stage. This
information is located in the button “What to do?”
14 /25
Every stage has three parts:
• How to do it? It explains how to carry out every stage.
15 /25
There, you can see all the things that must be done in each stage.
16 /25
• What to study? It allows the apprentices to access the established learning
material to fulfill the tasks of the activity.
17 /25
The learning material is intended to provide what apprentices need to know in
order to fulfill the goals of each learning guide.
18 /25
• How to check it? Through this option, it is possible to download the different
checklists to assess the products or performance evidences in every stage.
Every assessment instrument will allow the apprentices determine if their products
fulfill the requirements of the stage. In order to approve the course, every guide
must have the letter “A” which stands for Approved. However, the evidence can
be approved with a minimum score of 70 points out of 100.
For this course, A1- Level 2, the product evidences have to be uploaded in a
journal. This tool is provided by Blackboard® and the instructor has to create one
journal per apprentice. The different links or products must be uploaded to the
personal journal.
To create the journal, the instructor has to locate the “journal tool” on the left
panel. Then, the journal can be created by following the procedure to do so.
19 /25
To hand in the written performance evidences (written participation in forums),
the apprentice must press the button “Forums” on the left panel. Here, he/she
needs to identify the correspondent forums and do the activity.
20 /25
In the case of the speaking performance (oral participation in web-conferences),
the instructor and apprentice need to use the Blackboard Collaborate tool. In order
to use this option, the instructor has to select the “Control Panel” option on the
left part of the platform and select the button options. Then, press on “Course
tools” and click on “Blackboard Collaborate”. After this, the instructor has to fill
in some information in order to create the oral meeting with the apprentice to
assess the speaking performance.
Finally, knowledge evidences are tests which are intended to assess the apprentices’
knowledge throughout the learning process. In the diagnosis learning activity,
the test is included in the guide interface. The apprentices have to follow the
instructions and check their process.
21 /25
In the learning activities, there is a button that links the guide to the test. The
instructor can enable different options of the test if it is required
