Online Learning Environment
Students have the option, circumstances permitting, to access the Online Learning Environment (OLE). This provides students with the opportunity to extend their studies by discussing both academic and non-academic issues with tutors and fellow students through the Internet.
The OLE provides easy access to study resources, as well as to fast and efficient academic and administrative support. It also enables students to be part of a learning community in a way in which distance learners have seldom been accustomed in the past.
The OLE includes a number of learning support features:
- student – student and student – tutor interaction
- links to relevant resources
- course-specific discussion rooms where you can debate and find solutions to queries about your course
- assignment submission and tutor feedback area
- administrative and technical help areas
- electronic course documentation to download and print
- notice boards where you will be informed of any important events or deadlines
- student café where you can meet and talk to your fellow students socially
