<h2 class="accordion-header">Who can participate as a student in Online UWC?</h2>
<div class="accordion-content">
<p class="first-p">
If you are aged between 14-20 then you can sign up to be a student for our five-week Online UWC virtual immersion program, or VIP. If you are younger, please feel free to look at some of our class resources such as <span><a target="_blank" href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0uvvvnUly2dQVesT2pBu8Q" style="color:#F85D62; font-weight:bold;">video lectures </a></span> that have already taken place. Unfortunately you can’t sign up to be a student. You’re more than welcome to once you are 14! If you are over 20 and have graduated from a UWC and/or a university or college, get in touch with us about <span><a target="_blank" href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1R8-Togdeun-P-bJTczCXcLLr8ew0f8Wx6u2Fxi2pO2Y/viewform" style="color:#F85D62; font-weight:bold;">becoming a mentor </a></span> (see more about what this involves in the Mentors section below).I’m worried that my English isn’t good enough. Will this be a problem?
</p>
</div>
<h2 class="accordion-header">I’m worried that my English isn’t good enough. Will this be a problem?</h2>
<div class="accordion-content">
<p class="first-p">
Not at all. There will be participants who are native-English speakers and participants who are native-speakers of languages from all over the world. If you are not so confident it will be a great opportunity for you to practise your English in real-world situations, not just describing your family to your teacher! As well as our video lectures and group sessions where you can chat face-to-face, there will also be plenty of written interactions, through our assignments and on our Facebook group, where you can take time to write things out. But really there is no need to be nervous!
</p>
</div>
<h2 class="accordion-header">Does it matter where I live?</h2>
<div class="accordion-content">
<p class="first-p">

<div class="accordion-content">
<p class="first-p">

<div class="accordion-content">
<p class="first-p">
The cost for the 5-week Online UWC virtual immersion program running from September 29th 2014 - November 3rd is $20.
In the future we hope to work with companies to sponsor students’ to take part in Online UWC, but we do not have “official” financial aid at the moment. However, if you would like to attend and your parents do not have $20 to spare, please get in touch with us and we will see what we can do!
</p>
</div>
<h2 class="accordion-header">Is this a UWC short course?</h2>
<div class="accordion-content">
<p class="first-p">
Yes, this is a <span><a target="_blank" href="http://www.uwc.org/uwc_education/short_programmes/" style="color:#F85D62; font-weight:bold;">UWC Short Course</a></span> recognised by and run in affiliation with the UWC International Office (IO).
</p>
</div>
<h2 class="accordion-header">Is Online UWC the same as attending a UWC college?</h2>
<div class="accordion-content">
<p class="first-p">
No, Online UWC and UWC are two separate but affiliated entities. To learn more about attending a UWC college please visit the <span><a target="_blank" href="http://www.uwc.org/" style="color:#F85D62; font-weight:bold;">UWC Website</a></span> .

<p class="first-p">

</p>
</div>
<h2 class="accordion-header">What exactly does being a mentor entail?</h2>
<div class="accordion-content">
<p class="first-p">
There are a number of ways you can help as mentor for Online UWC. You can:
<br/>
<ul style="padding-left:10px;">
<li>Help us build the <span style="color:#F85D62;">curriculum</span>. This is done prior to the start of the course.</li><br/>
<li>Volunteer as an expert lecturer (or help us find one) for a <span style="color:#F85D62;">topic</span>. This involves giving
a 20-30 minute presentation followed by 30-40 mins of questions from and discussion with students.</li><br/>
<li>During the 5 week course, facilitate the weekly group session, which is held the day
after the video lecture. This lasts for an hour. Your role is more of a chair, steeringthe discussion in the right direction and announcing the week’s assignment.</li><br/>
<li>A combination of any or all of the above.</li><br/>
</ul>
</p>
</div>
<h2 class="accordion-header">What is the time commitment for me as a mentor?</h2>
<div class="accordion-content">
<p class="first-p">
Depending on your role and how much you want to be involved this can be anything upwards of one hour a week. We are very flexible and try to do as much as we can for mentors to be able to fit their volunteering around their busy schedules.
</p>
</div>
<h2 class="accordion-header">How do I sign up?</h2>
<div class="accordion-content">
<p class="first-p">
Go to our mentor <span><a target="_blank" href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1R8-Togdeun-P-bJTczCXcLLr8ew0f8Wx6u2Fxi2pO2Y/viewform" style="color:#F85D62; font-weight:bold;">Sign Up Form! </a></span>
</p>
</div>
<h2 class="accordion-header">Does it cost anything?</h2>
<div class="accordion-content">
<p class="first-p">
No. You are doing us and the students a favour with your time.
</p>
</div>
<h2 class="accordion-header">What do I get in return?</h2>
<div class="accordion-content">
<p class="first-p">
A chance to meet, work with and challenge an enthusiastic and idealistic group of students from around the world. A chance to be involved with a groundbreaking development in online education. The mentors come from various walks of life and are a great team to work with. You get the chance to volunteer with a great educational initiative spreading the UWC movement and values with the added benefit that you can do so from your own home.
</p>
</div>
<h2 class="accordion-header">Do I have to have a connection with UWC?</h2>
<div class="accordion-content">
<p class="first-p">
Not at all. We welcome any volunteers with the will and knowledge to help our course be a success. Some knowledge of the <span><a target="_blank" href="http://uwc.org/about_uwc/default.aspx" style="color:#F85D62; font-weight:bold;">UWC Movement</a></span> is useful to know the background behind the Online UWC but is not necessary.

<p class="faq_type">Technology</p>
<div id="accordion-container">
<h2 class="accordion-header">What technology will I need?</h2>
<div class="accordion-content">
<p class="first-p">
You will need a computer with access to the internet, a webcam, microphone and headphones. To access the video lectures and discussions you should have a high-speed internet connection.
See our Setting Up page[Link coming soon] for more information and how to test your internet connection.
</p>
</div>
<h2 class="accordion-header">Do I need to download any software?</h2>
<div class="accordion-content">
<p class="first-p">
Not really. All the software we use is free and available on the internet. You will need a Google account (sign up for one free <span><a target="_blank" href="https://accounts.google.com/signup?service=mail" style="color:#F85D62; font-weight:bold;">here </a></span>). If you don’t have an @gmail.com email account you can keep your email address (e.g. with @live.com, @outlook.com or @yahoo.com) but create a linked Google account <span><a target="_blank" href="https://accounts.google.com/signup?service=mail" style="color:#F85D62; font-weight:bold;">here </a></span>.
You will also need a <span><a target="_blank" href="https://facebook.com" style="color:#F85D62; font-weight:bold;">Facebook account </a></span> since most of our non-class discussion will take place on Facebook.
The one thing you possibly need to download, if you don’t have it already, is Google’s free Talk browser extension/plug-in, which allows you to run Google Hangouts. This is the video programme, similar to Skype, which we use to hold the video lectures and group discussions. Click on this <span><a target="_blank" href="https://www.google.com/hangouts/"style="color:#F85D62; font-weight:bold;">link </a></span> to download the Google Talk browser extension/plug-in and click on “Available for your computer”.
</p>
</div>
<h2 class="accordion-header">I don’t have my own computer. Is that ok?</h2>
<div class="accordion-content">
<p class="first-p">
Yes, that’s fine. As long as you have access to a computer with a relatively good internet connection, webcam, microphone and headphones then you should have no problems taking part in the course.
</p>
</div>
<h2 class="accordion-header">How do I make the payment for the course?</h2>
<div class="accordion-content">
<p class="first-p">
Please pay $20 by PayPal to [email protected]. <span><a target="_blank" href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1CyzYxHaE1sreHGz0AqgiGQnJravv8mme3TLuJa4cF3Q/edit"style="color:#F85D62; font-weight:bold;">Here </a></span> are detailed step by step instructions.

<p class="faq_type">How the course works</p>
<div id="accordion-container">
<h2 class="accordion-header">Why Virtual Immersion Programme (VIP)?</h2>
<div class="accordion-content">
<p class="first-p">
VIP stands for ‘virtual immersion program’.
We did not want to call Online UWC a MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) because Online UWC is so much more than a MOOC. We wouldn’t mind MOOC 2.0, but we think we have a great concept in Online UWC so we want to really stand out, and we want to emphasise how immersive our course is through its use of social media. We also think you’re all Very Important People, so VIP works in two ways ;)
</p>
</div>
<h2 class="accordion-header">What is the time commitment?</h2>
<div class="accordion-content">
<p class="first-p">
The time commitment for you as a student of Online UWC is around 3-6 hours a week. There is a 1 hour video lecture each week and 1-2 hours of group discussion and assignment time. On top of this you have pre-class readings and many students choose to spend more time working on assignments with their fellow students.
