Material in this course will be presented completely online utilising MyUni, Learning Management Systems (LAMS), Articulate presentations and virtual classrooms via Blackboard Collaborate.

The online delivery mode of the course offers flexibility and enables students to study at their own pace. However, due to the asynchronous nature of the course, it is highly recommended that students are actively participating in course material on a weekly basis so as not to fall behind in coursework.

Virtual Classrooms via Blackboard Collaborate offer a synchronous environment where student can interact with the course instructor and other students in real time.

Blackboard collaborate can be accessed via a computer and there is an application for mobile devices that will offer flexibility of participation to students.

Online lectures through MyUni: The content for this course has been reviewed and adapted from existing teaching material for care of people with chronic health issues and disability. The learning objectives, readings and content have been reviewed, adapted and presented in keeping with Level I courses. The online lectures will take the form of voiced over power points, Articulate presentations and LAMS. All online courses are supported with face to face contact with lecturing staff as required. 

Articulate presentations – the School of Nursing has a licence for the Articulate e-learning authoring software program and has a number of staff that are expert in its use. The advantage to the student is the freedom to progress through content at their own pace while receiving in time support for their learning. This is particularly helpful for the nature of the content which will be available for revision across the semester. The School of Nursing has a purpose built e-learning room with dedicated PC access to training support software.

LAMS presentations for selected topics – LAMS (learning activity management system) provides a simple learning design tool that encourages student interaction and engagement with a diverse range of material. The visual interface allows the lecturer to author individual and group assignments. LAMS allow the student freedom to progress at their own pace and to easily review content they are uncertain of. LAMS offer lecturing staff a novel and innovative way to present content that often resists transition from text book to engagement. A number of school staff have used LAMS and more will be able to as the university increases IT support for this and other learning systems.

Tutorial (virtual classroom) – A drop in virtual tutorial session will be made available to students. Lecture staff will be available online to counsel students on any aspect of the course content or assessment. Wimba tools through MyUni offers a virtual classroom that can be used for tutorial sessions. The student capacity is unlimited and the instructor has a range of interactive tools available (e.g. hosting external websites) to stimulate engagement.

Simulation or tutorial - Depending on time and student interest simulation activities or other tutorial type activites will be offered. This is most likely to focus on the assessment of people with a disability. 

The workload for this course has suggested hours of:

• 2 x 1 hour lecture / week (Articulate presentations & LAMS)
• 1x 1 hour tutorial / week (Virtual Classroom)
• 1 x 3 hour poster presentation

Please be advised that the workload shown here for the time commitment breakdown for this course is based on the hours required if the course was face to face.

As the course is offered online, students can engage in content at their own pace, although it is highly recommended that participation in course content occurs on a weekly basis to avoid falling behind in course content
