Literacy for Learning in HPE unit (EDU112)

This unit is taught fully online. This means that there is not a face-to-face lecture or tutorial scheduled on campus. However, there are a range of ways planned for you to participate in this subject. 

You will engage with the content through weekly recorded lectures, online readings and tasks including quizzes in the MyLO space as well as through the completion of assignments.

Your tutorial experience is a one-hour synchronous Zoom tutorial each week in which we will discuss the content and complete applied tasks etc.  Please see the MyLO home page for details of scheduled zoom sessions.

You are expected to dedicate ten hours per week to this unit. This may be divided as follows: weekly lectures and online content (approx. 1 hour); weekly reading/s (2 hours); weekly tutorial (1 hour); weekly discussion board and any online activities (app.1 hr); preparation for assessment, including sourcing readings and working with peers as appropriate (5 hours)

• total time includes time spent reading and viewing resources provided to you on MyLO, time spent participating in the weekly tutorial task and any discussion topics or online activities such as quizzes and time spent for additional information/resources necessary for the completion of assessment tasks.

It cannot be emphasised enough that your progress and success in this unit depends on you actively engaging with weekly lectures and synchronous tutorials and allocating time to connect with your peers.
