Operating Systems

This unit will adopt self-paced learning where students participate in online learning activities. Students will be able to conduct learning activities at a time that suits them provided the learning activities are completed by the required time. This unit will adopt a student-centred learning model where learning comes from network of relationships between instructors and peers. It is expected that students allocate approximately 20 hours per week for online activities and independent study.

The delivery model of this unit allows students to take responsibility for their learning by accessing resources and completing activities in an online environment prior to attending in person or online facilitated sessions that progresses and applies the learning. Teaching and learning strategies used include: self-paced delivery; practical computer-based labs delivery utilising leading IT vendor materials; practical case studies.
Delivery strategies will address the learning outcomes and meet the needs of the learner. The unit is designed for the majority of learners to achieve the learning outcomes within the time specified. Academic support is available for students who require additional support.

Formative assessments (Post-Class Quizzes, Lab Tasks) are systematically used throughout the unit to build knowledge and scaffold skill development.
