    Online Learning
    is the 成人大片's online learning environment. It is used to support traditional face-to-face lectures, tutorials and workshops at the University. MyUni provides access to various features including announcements, course materials, discussion boards and assessments for each online course of study.
  • Learning & Teaching Activities
    Learning & Teaching Modes
    This course is very focused on the regulatory framework for business startups in Australia. However the international background of many of the class members lends it self to expanding our collective knowledge about setting up a business in other parts of the world. The intensive mode of the classes enables workshopping of key concepts in small groups within the class time and comparison between systems of regulation. Each topic will commence with an overview by the facilitator, and the PowerPoint topic summaries will be available prior to the class.

    Students are provided with prompts, cases and activity materials prior to the class time through the MyUni site. The Powerpoint slides will suggest interactive learning activities during the class sessions, and for those students not able to be in attendance.

    Students will require internet searching capacity in the class to source and verify information required to complete the class workshop activities. 

    Please bring laptops, or tablets, or even smart phones with chargers and power cords. You will need them!
    Workload

    The information below is provided as a guide to assist students in engaging appropriately with the course requirements.

    It is expected that students will attend each of the 6 full days of the course. It is expected that students will review materials provided online each evening prior to the class to prepare for the session, and also take their turns, as directed, to undertake information search activities for the benefit of the rest of the class.

    There are two assignments for students to undertake in their own time. On the last afternoon of the courses, an open book/internet access multiple choice quiz (assignment 3) will be administered for which students will require their own device and internet access.

    As a guide, a 3 unit course comprises a total of 156 hours work (this includes face-to-face contact, any online components, and self directed study).
    Learning Activities Summary
    On each day, students will engage with workshop activity in the class which will follow active listening in the seminar which overviews the topics. Activities are designed to underpin the knowledge needed to successfully complete the assessment tasks; which will require responses to case studies and demonstrating their knowledge of how to operationalize a new venture.

    Activities will require internet searches using students’ own devices. This is a draft schedule and session dates are a guide only. The timetable may be changed during the course delivery if necessary.

  • Student Feedback

    The University places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

    SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the University to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

  • Student Support
  • Policies & Guidelines
  • Fraud Awareness

    Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student鈥檚 disciplinary procedures.
