How does the online learning environment work, i.e. how is the course content delivered online?
A. The course is delivered using an educational software package called Moodle (see Moodle.org). The units on the course run consecutively and are delivered over three or six months, depending on the unit content. Problem based learning, delivered through online activates, centralise discussions around certain learning outcomes. The content is based on core texts (online and/or recommended text books) journal/research papers, websites and media files. Study guides help direct the learning as do the online facilitators who support discussions and solving problems.
