Delivery and Assessment

  1. The course will be delivered 100% by qualified and trained educators in a virtual learning environment. Students will typically attend live-streamed online lectures/lessons. For a more hands-on learning experience, the teacher will allow students to ask questions in real-time through webcam, microphone, or live chat. The teacher and the student will have regular one-on-one engagement similar to a traditional face-to-face lesson. 

    Self-paced (asynchronous) instruction will supplement the live online classes. Students can watch previously recorded lectures at their own leisure. The instructor will typically be available via email or text chat should the students require any clarification during the learning process. In the same manner, students will communicate with one another where they can discuss the module materials and work on any assignment allocated. 

    Students learn in a variety of ways and, therefore, should be expected to engage in different learning patterns (independent learning, group work, computer based workshops, class presentation, essay writing, etc.) 

    The teaching, learning and assessment strategy of each module has been designed to ensure that  teaching methods are appropriate for achieving the learning objectives of the module.
