Our learning environment will be a mix of onsite classes, tutorials and labs with online delivery of some modules.  

You can expect:

• Learning in small groups is more likely to take place on campus;
• Students will attend onsite for classes within assigned group.
• Alternative to scheduled onsite blocks, learning in large groups will be through online delivery - live lectures, recorded lectures or blended delivery;
• Any lab or clinical scheduled classes will be delivered face-to-face, with physical distancing and use of PPE as necessary;
• Admission to the Library is through library reservations;

Learning elements available in our elearning tool – Blackboard - while you can take some learning elements at your own convenience, we recommend that you set aside time each day to review and study the material as it becomes available rather than waiting for tasks to build up.  This is particularly important in the preparation of assignments for submission or study for assessments.
