She is also required to ensure that the curriculum is aligned to deliver on the necessary teaching outcomes. Her responsibility is to ensure that the course focuses on continuous assessment for students to achieve the learning outcomes.<\/p>\n<p>As a lecturer, Ms Hughes says she has been using Cengage textbooks for many years to facilitate her courses and has now integrated Cengage\u2019s MindTap into some of her courses.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe software has provided the opportunity to integrate assessments using MindTap\u2019s built-in functionality,\u201d she says. \u201cThis course is based on Cengage\u2019s MindTap for Understanding Management and BUSN11.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ms Hughes teaches business management as a service subject to chartered accounting students, \u201cwho require deep insight into the world of business. I was looking for a resource that would help students make a personal connection with this content,\u201d she adds.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI then developed another course which is a brief overview of the different functional departments in a business and how accounting, marketing and other functions operate. MindTap provided the necessary functionality to achieve these goals.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnyone wanting to develop an online course possibly won\u2019t realise upfront the amount of work involved in developing a platform from scratch such as this. In addition to deciding on the content, you will need a good integrated textbook that offers support materials.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy preference is for a continuous learning approach that builds towards the required outcomes. I\u2019m grateful to the authors that have developed these comprehensive books and high-quality content that can be integrated into the MindTap application, which gives a professional look and feel together with all the necessary functionality.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mypr.co.za\/contact\/featured\/\">CLICK HERE to submit your press release to MyPR.co.za for free<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p> <span class=\"post-views-icon dashicons dashicons-chart-bar\"><\/span> <span class=\"post-views-label\">Press Release Views since 1 July 2022:<\/span> <span class=\"post-views-count\">44<\/span> <\/p>\n<div class=\"entry-pagination pagination\">Pages: <span class=\"post-page-numbers current\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Page <\/span>1<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\/online-learning-platform-used-at-university-of-johannesburg-uj\/2\/\" class=\"post-page-numbers\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Page <\/span>2<\/a><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\">Source: MyPR.co.za<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Republish for Free Republish This Story Republish our articles for free, online or in print, under a Creative Commons license.
