The CEP Format

Introduction

The CEP format was designed to make the program more engaging and tailored to your specific needsand available time commitment. Basically, each module will look like a standard article but with iconicguides on the left hand side. The iconic guides tell you a little about the content and the significance ofeach section of text.

Importance Indicators

Each icon will be coloured green, orange or red.

RED: Symbolizes that this section of text is of critical importance and must be read in order tounderstand the message of this module.

ORANGE: Symbolizes that this section of text important to read and will really help in tying the conceptstogether and give you a more complete understanding of the module.

GREEN: Symbolizes that this section of text is very useful to read and will elaborate on yourunderstanding.

You should read every section of text. However, if you are short on time or are revising a module, it maysuffice to read only sections of text that have a red icon, if you have a little more time and interest thenyou could also read the orange sections. The same applies to students of yours. Some CEP modules youshould print out and make available to students, for example a module on using memory. Typically,students are only interested in the how to part of learning and not as much the ideas behindtechniques of learning. The iconic guides will allow them to read through a module and take only whatthey need out of it.

The Time Table

At the top of each module will bethe table on your right. This is abrief guide that lets you know inadvance how long it will take tocomplete the module if:

You only read the mandatory (red) sections You read the mandatory (red) and important (orange) sections You read the mandatory (red), important (orange) and useful (green) sections

Content Indicators

While the colour of iconic guides will let you know the relative importance of text, the picture imbeddedwithin the icon will give you an idea of the content in each section of text:

Whats In It For Me this will appear at the beginning of every module and tells youwhat benefits you will derive from this module.

Level One Explanations the brain in this icon indicates that the related sectionexplains the ideas being taught in this module. The 1 in this icon indicates that thelevel of detail/complexity (on a scale of 1 3) is 1.

Level Two Explanations the brain in this icon indicates that the related sectionexplains the ideas being taught in this module. The 2 in this icon indicates that thelevel of detail/complexity (on a scale of 1 3) is 2.

Level Three Explanations the brain in this icon indicates that the related sectionexplains the ideas being taught in this module. The 3 in this icon indicates that thelevel of detail/complexity (on a scale of 1 3) is 3.

Explanatory Example indicates that the related text is some form of an exampledemonstrating how an idea works.

Practical Application Information on its own is useless unless we can find a way toapply it practically. The related text describes way to practically apply the ideaspresented.

Practice Exercise The text provides an exercise for you to do right now in order tounderstand and use the concept as intended

Explanatory Diagram A visual explanation of an idea. Usually a table, chart orflowchart.

Bullet Summary A quick, concise summary of the main points in the module.

The Feedback Form

As part of each CEP module you will need to fill in a feedback form. The form will contain a section forfeedback on the CEP module and it will have a section for feedback on your progress with students. Theform is to be filled in by logging into the Tutor Admin section of our website. It will look something likethis:

Administrative Details

You will receive a Module on the 1st and 15th of every month. You must return the feedback form foreach module before you receive the next one.

Some of the CEP modules are suitable for distribution to students and are written as though for thestudent. It will be clearly specified if the module should be made available to students. If you chose toshare a module with a student you should give it to them to complete for homework and spend 5minutes discussing it with them next lesson. Make sure that it has been understood, the exercisescompleted, and the practical applications being put to use (if suitable to do so).
