10.00 am – 12.15 pm Self-Directed Learning – Video 1 Introduction To Systems Thinking.

Download Handouts

Slide handouts in pdf format can be downloaded from within the videos.  It will be useful for you to do this as you will no longer have access to the videos after the course.  Just click on the label Resources within the video at the top right corner. 

Submission of  Exercises

Each Video Contains An Exercise To Be Submitted.  Links to the exercise can also be found in the Resources tab.  Instructions are given at the end of the respective videos.

    • Submit the required exercises before the next Zoom session.  When the Zoom session starts, the exercise pages will be temporarily disabled. This means you cannot do the exercises during a Zoom session.  If you are halfway through the exercise, and I turn off the portal, you may lose your work. So do submit the exercises before the next Zoom session. I will turn on the exercise portal again after the Zoom session.
    • You get an email acknowledgment upon submission. If not check your spam box.
    • To be considered as having completed the course, you need to submit all assignments.
    • Embedded within the videos are short questions for you to self-check your understanding of the material.

WhatsApp Group

Use the Whatsapp group to reach out for assistance when we are out of Zoom.

Video playback issues

For the best learning experience, please use a PC, Mac, or tablet.  Avoid using smartphones if you can.

I’ve embedded some external videos in the slides. They are set to auto-play but give it a couple of seconds to load. Be patient with the delay.

If you find playback disrupted (e.g. video or audio stops), pause playback and wait for a few minutes to let the video load.  Or reload/refresh the page.  Normally happens with tablets.

Sometimes there are problems viewing videos via the Safari browser.  Switching to a Chrome browser may resolve the issues.

Sometimes, the viewing disruptions may be caused by use of VPN. Disabling the VPM while viewing the videos can help.

Video Controls

I would recommend that you hit the full screen  button for a better viewing experience.

Subtitles (Closed Caption) and variable playback speed controls are also available.

The video player for the lessons is not like a standard You-tube video.  Please click on this link below for a short briefing on how to navigate the video lessons and how to submit exercises. Then test it out on the first video and let me know if there are any issues.
