Level L3 Independent · status alpha · 7 lessons · about 6 hours of self-study, plus the two-day train-the-trainer workshop run by TESA

For university and college lecturers, technical teachers and trainers who will adopt the TESA Open Knowledge courses. It does not hand you a finished course to teach wholesale. It gives you parts that fit together, and shows how to fit them to your course, the national qualification standards and your institution’s constraints. It is modelled on Arm Education Kits and the teacher notes of Microsoft IoT for Beginners.

The lessons are written in Thai; English lesson pages are pending (translation: pending).

Who it is for

• Lecturers teaching microcontrollers, embedded systems, IoT or edge AI
• Trainers running camps and competition preparation
• Anyone working towards TQP Certified Trainer

Take the Explorer course first to see the lesson format from the learner’s side.

Outcomes

1. Choose an adoption model that fits the institution and fit lessons into 1.5-hour or 3-hour slots.
2. Build a lesson-level crosswalk to measurable CLOs, K/S/E/C domains, TPQI units and WA attributes in every column.
3. Put the TESA attribution into course documents, slides, handouts and LMS pages correctly, without claiming a certification that does not exist.
4. Design PRIMM activities, fading practice, Parsons problems and objective-aligned graded work, with a hardware plan.
5. Plan a teaching demonstration and prepare for TQP Certified Trainer under TESA’s rules.
