OBJECTIVES

• Interact to create a learning community among all course users
• Share information of the course users to encourage the learning of the content of the course.

• Open during the entire course.
• Use the forum Presentation activity.

DEVELOPMENT

In the welcome activity, we would like to know who you are; that´s why we ask you to tell us your name and why you enrolled in this course.

If you like, you can attach an image that you think is representative (a representative building of your city, a place that you especially like, a selfie...).

So:

1. Write a short introduction text, where you tell your interests about the course, what has motivated you to participate and anything you can think of as a presentacion to the group.
2. You can select a representative image.

EXAMPLE

I'm María and I live in Asturias, Spain. Every day I see more problems of poverty and discrimination and I am also worried that the welfare state may be in danger. I have signed up for this course because I want to know what can be done to improve society and meet other people with my concerns. In this picture I want to show you what is in the center (yes, the center!) of my city, Gijón.
