Teaching in Semester 2, 2020 – guidance and support
How can we support student connection, engagement and learning in Semester 2? Based on the Mid-semester 1 survey results and a range of student and staff feedback, we have updated the Teaching guidance with a Teaching support guide for Semester 2. We have also updated advice for assessment in Semester 2. For all recent updates, view the list on the Communications page or contact ITaLI for personalised support.
Resource for students – Digital citizenship
The Digital Citizenship module (part of the Digital Essentials series) introduces students to online safety and wellbeing, appropriate online behaviour and their digital footprint. It is designed to be embedded into courses so students can find the information they need, when they need it.
