What is online learning?
Many students are now online, using
a computer connected to the Internet
to access a website with ‘virtual’ classrooms
and workplaces set up by their training providers.
Students enrolled in an online
course will usually have a login
name and password so they can
access the course website. The website will have interactive learning
materials,
and email and online discussions
forums so that they can communicate
with their tutor/teacher and other students in the course.
Online learning can be very flexible
as students can access their courses
at any time of the day or night,
and from anywhere, as long as
there is a computer connected to the
Internet.
Many online courses also use print
based materials, or will involve
students in workplace experience
and practical projects, so you
do not need to be connected to
the internet, or to be at a computer for all of the time you will
be
studying and learning.
Are there online learning opportunities
at TAFE Tasmania?
Many TAFE courses have
an online component. This adds flexibility
to campus based study, allowing
students to access some of their
course materials at times convenient
to them. Many courses also encourage
online communication with teacher
and class colleagues, and online
submission of assignments and assessments.
All our online courses are delivered using WebCT. If you would
like a demonstration you can access
a trial course.
TAFE Tasmania offers
some units of competency which
can be studied wholly online. There
are also some Adult Literacy and
Basic Education courses. Currently
TAFE Tasmania has an entire Certificate
II, and parts of Cert II and IV
in Call Centre Operations online.
Other full certificate courses
will be available online in the
future.
