Participation requirements
Students are expected to participate by undertaking the readings and assessment tasks. While the pacing of this unit is structured around a weekly participation by downloading and listening to the lectures, undertaking the readings and undertaking any relevant assessment tasks, students may choose to work at their own pace as long as assessment deadlines are still met. Students must complete all assessment items to pass this unit.
Required IT skills
This unit involves online meetings in real time using the Virtual Room in your 91做厙Learn teaching site. The Virtual Room allows you to communicate in real time with your lecturer and other students. To participate verbally, rather than just typing, you will need a microphone. For best audio quality we recommend a microphone and speaker headset. For more information and to test your computer, go to the Virtual Room in your 91做厙Learn site and 'Join Course Room'. This will trigger a tutorial to help familiarise you with the functionality of the virtual room.
