Online Training
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.
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.
How does it work?
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.
What you need
You will need regular access to a computer with internet connection.
The computer's browser program
will also need to be suitable for
our online training software.
All our online courses are delivered using WebCT. If you would
like a demonstration you can access
a trial course.
However, 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.
