What is the teaching and learning strategy for studying via distance learning?
Starting your distance journey with The IIE’s Varsity College Online Centre
- Self-managed online engagement with support when you need it.
- You will also be allocated an Online Success Navigator (OSN) whose role is to take care of all your generic non-academic support.
- Part of your orientation as a new online student, you will receive an Onboarding Pack to work through. Please go through the full Onboarding Pack to familiarise yourself with all relevant information, resources and tools you will have access to during your time as a Distance Learning student. As you have submitted a registration contract, you will be able to access and complete the onboarding. Please take special note of the IIE009 Assessment Strategy and Policy within the Onboarding Pack.
- In conjunction with the Onboarding Pack, you will have access to a series of Open Support Sessions for registration or technical support. These sessions will be hosted prior to the academic term start and continue for a couple of weeks into the academic term.
- Once the academic term starts, a series of academic and non-academic (student support) sessions will take place weekly and will cover certain topics such as, but not limited to:
- What is Student Support?
- Exploring the Platforms.
- Assessment and Results Support.
- Finding Resources.
- Assessment Policy.
- Let’s talk results before your summative assessment.
- Library Information Sessions.
- Student Wellness Information Sessions.
- Career Centre Information Sessions.
- Sports Information Sessions.
