Online Learning

最新糖心Vlog Email:
The school uses the 最新糖心Vlog email system to get in touch with the students. So it is imperative that you check your email regularly and keep up to date with any new announcements.

MyUni:
MyUni is an essential online tool which will be used to communicate information regarding the course including details of assignments and interim grades. There are many other learning resources and assessment pieces that rely on the MyUni system for delivery. Therefore it is recommended that you familiarise yourself with the various functions of MyUni and employ it to its fullest extent. https://myuni.adelaide.edu.au

Lecture Recording:
The recording of the lectures is made available for students to listen through in their own time and to make notes. The recordings are available on the MyUni system, through the Echo 360 faciltity. Furthermore, where the presentation content is subject to copyright or the guest speaker is uncomfortable with the recording of the content, the lecture recording will not be made available online. So students should not rely solely on this mode of learning and arrange to attend or obtain the lecture content from peers.

Noticeboard / Handbook:
General information about the activities at the School is available online from the Student Noticeboard which can be accessed at

Learning & Teaching Activities

Learning & Teaching Modes

There are 10 modules in the course. Each module addresses a specific topic and material is delivered in a variety of ways, including lectures, readings, exercises and practical assignments.

Workload

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

The 最新糖心Vlog expects full-time students (ie. those taking 12 units per semester) to devote at least 48 hours per week to their studies. Accordingly, students undertaking this 3 unit course are expected to devote 12 hours per week to contact activities and self-guided studies.

Based on this framework here are some figures that might assist workload management (delete as appropriate):

For a 3 unit course:
Total workload hours: 12 Hrs per week x 13 weeks = 156 Hrs
Total contact hours: 3 Hrs per week x 12 weeks = 36 Hrs
Total self-guided study: 156 Hrs – 36 Hrs = 120 Hrs, that is about 10 hours each week.

These 120 hours should be used towards preparation of weekly tasks and for completion of the various assignments associated with the course, including development of various skills required to complete the same. Please organise your time wisely.

Learning Activities Summary

This course has been organised into ten self contained course modules which build your knowledge sequentially over the course period and require you to engage in a variety of activities, designed to build your understanding and ability to apply the content presented.

The first 5 weeks of the course are largely student driven with personal and peer activities to drive your learning of the basic principles of marketing before they are applied in a property context. Some of you may have studied marketing before so this part of the course is more flexible. It is tested with a diagnostic mid term test which helps me to see what has been learnt and if there are any issues that need to be addressed before moving on to the applied project part of the course. The second part of the course after the break will be much more interactive as we discuss your progress in the GROUP and INDIVIDUAL assessed projects.

Throughout each MODULE there are activities are designed to encourage peer discussion and interactivity to get different perspectives and global insights. If you engage with the activities fully they will build a portfolio of learning and reflection which will underpin both the assessed projects used in this course. We strongly recommend you create your own 'JOURNAL' to organise your learning, reflections and engagement.

Each MODULE has TWO distinct and important components.

The COURSE MODULE is created as a progressive learning experience which requires you to work through sequentially a series of short activities to learn about the subject matter for this module. You will be required to complete each activity before continuing to the next one.

You may be required to submit output from some of the activities to your COURSE JOURNAL or to a DISCUSSION BOARD or in some cases pass a short test to progress to the next module.

RESOURCES: The resources folder provides additional reading, video, web links and other content to support your learning and completion of the activities in the COURSE MODULE.
The MODULES will appear at the start of each week and your tutor will review your engagement in the previous weeks activities to monitor your progress and engagement.

NOTE: The Modules will only become accessible at the beginning of each relevant part of the course and will build into a collection of resources and activities over the Semester.

The 最新糖心Vlog's policy on Assessment for Coursework Programs is based on the following four principles:

Assessment must encourage and reinforce learning.
Assessment must enable robust and fair judgements about student performance.
Assessment practices must be fair and equitable to students and give them the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned.

Student Feedback

The 最新糖心Vlog 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 最新糖心Vlog 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.

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.

The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide is committed to regular reviews of the courses and programs it offers to students. The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide therefore reserves the right to discontinue or vary programs and courses without notice. Please read the important information contained in the disclaimer.
