Reflection    Challenge and Selection  I am the president of a humanitarian organisation that has a primary goal of raising money  for field projects.  Our secondary goal is to educate about global health and the field  projects that we run. The project designed was an online live-teaching course with  integrated learning strategies to learn about humanitarian and global issues in French. For  the project, we reach out to an experienced French teacher and an experienced French  humanitarian aid to help with design and structure. The development was projected to take  3 months with the hope that once the course was developed it could be run annually.    The team was selected based on individual skills. I had experience in working abroad and an  idea of essential French phrases that would provide the most value. Our teacher was  comfortable teaching the course when the structure had been made. Our third person had  parts in both sides and was there as an additional support as the project was time  consuming.    Application  There were a number of issues to develop before launching. What level to aim at for  example. We studied course psychology and why the completion rate of online courses is  low. We worked to make the course a regular habit and integrated daily reminders and  quizzes to keep students in the loop.    The advertising campaign was launched across several social media platforms. This was a  trial launch so spaces were limited, therefore we were confident all tickets would sell. The  difficulty was selecting class cohorts of a similar level. It is difficult with languages to  develop a proficient tool at assessing a person’s ability accurately. We send out  questionaries although I suspect almost all students used translational tools to boost their  performance.    Our feedback of application has been very successful. We send out feedback forms after  each session. We have tweaked elements including more additional learning resources to  make it a complete immersive experience.    Insight and approach    By applying the integrated learning course, we have learnt several things. When giving  instructions to a large group they must be incredibly clear. Additional emails answering  questions are time consuming and cost the business money. Since this was a trial it allowed  us to refine our advertising strategy. A great insight is into what pulls people to further  education. People are moved to continue more on enjoyment and how they felt opposed to  how much they are learning. Although the more someone enjoys the course, the more they  are learning generally as the engagement is higher.    Our approach has been very supportive to students and we have put in additional time to  accommodate additional issues which was not a cost effective efficient way to spend our

time. The logic was additional money spent to make the course the best it can be, will reap  in the long term.    After this trial period, we will work on redesigning minor elements, otherwise it is ready to  be rolled out on a larger scale.
