Learning Resources
Required Resources
Please take note of the University's support services available to you.
We will use Zoom for virtual classes.
Any standard browser on a computer not more than 5 years old should be sufficient for this course. When you are engaging online with other students, remember that online text is NOT the same as talking to someone. We lack visual and aural cues that tell us when someone is joking so please be careful with humour, be respectful to one another and ensure that criticisms never become personal. As a rule, if something has annoyed you, please read your response, reflect, return after thinking, and reply respectfully. -

Assessment
The University'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.
- Assessment must maintain academic standards.
Assessment Summary
Discussion Forum Activity 50%
Online Learning Portfolio 50%Assessment Detail
Contribute to discussion forums throughout the course. There will be nine assessable opportunities to contribute and your assessment will be based on your overall contributions. All are weighted equally. You'll receive feedback on your first post which will identify your areas in which you can improve and a final overall grade. I will be involved in discussion but will allow you to make contributions first.
Engage with an online learning activity. Provide evidence of engagement and learning and discuss the methods used to promote learning with respect to course content. Thsi will be done in a portfolio form which may re-use content from dsicussion forums but will require a 1500 word report at the end summarising the learning experience and its links to learning theory.Submission

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.

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’s disciplinary procedures.
The University of Adelaide is committed to regular reviews of the courses and programs it offers to students. The University of Adelaide therefore reserves the right to discontinue or vary programs and courses without notice. Please read the important information contained in the disclaimer.
