News and ideas
from the English Campus training team

The MEC training team has had a very busy year. During 2009, it offered over 25 of its hugely popular ‘MEC clinics’, published more than 150 thought-provoking postings on the English Campus blog www.connect2mec.com, and welcomed a new member, Pedro Moura, who joins Sarah Milligan, Joanna Trzmielewska and Jane Wright in bringing you top tips, suggestions and training on the English Campus.

MEC clinics testimonial

'MEC clinics' are live online sessions, free for all English Campus users, which focus on a particular Campus functionality, or on a group of resources. In 2009, they helped over 150 teachers make the most of the English Campus.

Some of the most popular clinics covered topics as varied as the Campus business videos, the new Voice Record and Playback tool, the MEC News Items, and the Young Learner resources.

Coming up for 2010 , the training team has prepared a list of fascinating and helpful topics for the next clinics, as well as a series of top-up training sessions for teachers who are new to MEC, or anyone who just feels the need to freshen up their Campus skills.

If there is any aspect of the English Campus on which you would like us to offer a clinic, please write to Sarah Milligan, at s.milligan@macmillan.com, to share your ideas.

MEC clinics certificate Finally, following the introduction of the very popular MEC clinics certificates of attendance last year, the

training team has a new surprise in store for 2010: you will now be able to see Sarah, Joanna, Jane and Pedro in person during the session, through a webcam video.


All details of future clinics and training sessions will be published on the English Campus blog, and you will be able to book your place by emailing Sarah. Keep in touch – and do let us know what you think via email, or by leaving a comment on the blog.
