Timetable Note

The on-campus class is taught through the "flip" method, in which the learning facilitator (formerly, lecturer) sets discussion materials on Learn, and students come together during class meetings to discuss these.  Students bring or share laptops, smart phones, tablets, with learning materials, during whole class discussions.  These discussions are video-taped and shared via Learn with students enrolled in our distance course.  Distance students email the learning facilitator a summary and contribution to the discussion after viewing the video.   Distance students will develop their own essay topics and develop their essay idea plan during emailed interactions around tutorials.
