12. Frequently Asked Questions

13. Why are we doing this? Isn’t it just complicating things? We’re doing it to make it less complicated for the students. The more integration we have within the students’ Learning Space, the better the student experience will be. Eamonn has Tested the idea. It works!

14. Why do we have the link in the STAFF ROOM? Why don’t we just go straight to the SIACCO? Because the SIACCO may be done before the Weekly is put online. Only when both the Weekly is live and the SIACCO is ready will the link appear in the STAFF ROOM.

15. Do I have to create the SIACCOS? No. At the moment Joe & Michelle are doing the Beginners SIACCOS, Wesley & Gina are doing the General and Paul & Eamonn Business English SIACCOS. That being said, they would be grateful to hear any suggestions you may have.
