Read on to discover the terms we use to describe our course delivery methods.
University diploma, bachelor & postgraduate courses
Visit your course page to discover the delivery mode for the course.
Once enrolled, each unit will show whether it is delivered online real-time, online self-paced, hybrid or in person. If your unit is delivered in hybrid mode, each class within the unit will show whether it is delivered in person or online. Please be sure to check all the individual classes in your unit.
In person:
Your unit or classes will be delivered at the campus you have enrolled in. The timetable will display “On Campus” and provide the room where the classes will be held.
Online real-time:
Your unit or classes will be delivered online using Zoom or a similar platform. The timetable will display “Online Real Time (ZOOM)” and you will attend scheduled classes online.
Online self-paced:
You will complete learning activities online at times that suits you, providing they are completed by the due date. Your timetable will display “Online Self-Paced”.
Hybrid:

The timetable will state which classes or activities in the unit will be delivered on campus, and which classes or activities will be online, in either real-time or self-paced mode.
