Learning & Teaching Activities
Learning & Teaching Modes
This course is delivered in a semester, trimester and intensive format, although enrolment options may be limited by availability.
This course offers opportunities for you to learn through blended learning approaches, meaning some of the learning is done autonomously online and some of the learning is done through face-to-face engagement. This blended approach is used to create a rich scaffolded and supportive learning experience.Workload
The information below is provided as a guide to assist students in engaging appropriately with the course requirements.
This is a 3-unit course. In the semester or trimester format, you are expected to allocate the following study time to fully meet the Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs) for this course. Please note that students work at different paces, so this indicates the approximate time required to complete this course.
Learning Activity Hours/Week Duration Total Online learning activities 1 hour 12 weeks 12 hours Face-to-face learning activities 3 hours 12 weeks 36 hours Independent study 4 hours 12 weeks 48 hours Assessment tasks 5 hours 12 weeks 60 hours Expected total student workload 156 hours Learning Activities Summary
You will be required to complete the online learning activities available on MyUni prior to regular face-to-face learning sessions. Throughout these autonomous tasks, you will have time to process new concepts and build foundational knowledge around them. In the face-to-face sessions, you will get a chance to apply that learning to build new skills and address real-world problems.
Learning activities, both online and face-to-face, are scaffolding to the learning builds throughout the course. Through this learning experience, you will be asked to draw on a range of lower-order and higher-order thinking skills. -

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.
