| Teaching Pattern |
This is a blended unit allowing students the flexibility of attending face-to-face classes on-campus or studying remotely during their initial 10 weeks of the semester. Teaching and learning will be achieved primarily by weekly lectorials. This will be supported by self-learning & self-assessing material provided through MyLO. Collaborative discussion forums provided in MyLO will allow for peer support. Lectorial sessions will be recorded and uploaded to MyLO. This will allow online students to view these sessions once they are uploaded. The lecturer will monitor MyLO discussion forums and email queries to support online students. |
