Part 1 - Technology Skills
Part 1 is designed to help students to learn how to use the features of the Learning Exchange, without attending a training course. It also helps students to understand the skills needed before they start their programme. This section consists of five subsections. Each subsection provides a list of the topics or tasks that demonstrate the skill level expected and provides access to tutorial information, practical exercises, and a challenge quiz. As students progress through each, they will be required to pass the challenge quiz for each topic area.
Subsections covered include:
● OC Portal
● OC Mail
● Learning Exchange
● ePortfolio
Part 2 - Academic Journey
Part 2 guides students through the expectations of being a postgraduate student of the Global Campus, and the support mechanisms in place to enhance students’ success. This portion of OOL6001 provides an overview of the policies and procedures that govern students’ role in the courses offered. It also identifies the roles and responsibilities of the GC staff that supports each programme, provides guidance on how students should approach their studies, and gives students an opportunity to reflect on their readiness for the programme selected. As with Part 1, there are tutorial information, practical exercises and challenge quizzes.
Subsections covered include:
● Knowing the Academic Support Community
● A Culture of Life-Long Learning
