  • 2 activities per module from the open Activity Bank (Required)

Program Delivery

In designing POSE, we’ve tried to incorporate open practices as much as possible. On the POSE WordPress site you will find content units and modules which include short interactive activities developed using H5P and an activity bank.

For in-person interactions, the program will use Zoom. You will need to register for all in-person sessions. We will then share the Zoom link with you for the synchronous sessions two-weeks before the session. If you do not have a Zoom account, you will be prompted to download the software. Remember you do NOT need a Zoom account in order to access a session. If you do not want to download Zoom, you may want to access the session using a web browser. We will share recordings of synchronous sessions after the session for those of you who are unable to attend.

All content in the POSE program will be available under a Creative Commons license for re-use upon completion of the program.

We would like to keep communication open between the program facilitators and you. We are always available if you reach out. We will share these announcements as program updates on the POSE WordPress site.
