How does online learning work?

Our flexible and online qualifications are delivered through a web-based, student-focused system called the Learning Portal. To assist students in their studies, the learning portal provides access to all teaching resources, lecturer interaction and academic support.

Importantly, every subject delivered online has a dedicated lecturer. Our online lecturers guide the students learning experience and provides feedback on their assessments and assignments. The online lecturer also facilitates interactive discussion as well as provides one-on-one academic support for students.

Study materials are presented in a range of formats from PDFs through to videos and interactive media. Students will participate in group activities such as discussion forums, message boards, blogs and wiki’s (editable web pages).

Students can monitor their own progress with online self-review quizzes and receive immediate results and feedback. Lecturers mark assessments online and grade assignments electronically. All participants can share resources through access to RSS feeds, online library collections and e-portfolio.

Students are also provided with a subject study guide, relevant text books and reference materials.
