Online learning is a way of studying without needing to attend classes on campus. It is aimed at those who wish to study for a qualification alongside work or other commitments.
The School of Vocational Health and Science have recently begun delivering an Associate Degree in Health Science. In the second year of this two year program, students have a choice to specialize in Health Promotion or Clinical Coding. Clinical Coding is a relatively new job role in the health sector and there is an increasing demand for graduates to fill such roles.
The Visual Merchandising Virtual WIL (VMVW) pattern creates a virtual communication point for the three parties—students, industry and teachers—involved in the VM industry placement program (also known as the mentor program). It will establish an online environment that allows all three parties to interact easily across multiple platforms.
RMIT University is a global university of technology and design, with three campuses in Australia, two Vietnam and as well as worldwide partnerships.
This pattern outlines an approach to work-integrated learning (WIL) within the ‘Applied Industry Practice’ course of the MBA program, which provides the opportunity for students to gain work-relevant skills such as how to conduct quality applied industry research, while developing relevant ‘soft skills’ such as communication and presentation skills, and how to work collaboratively in teams.
The problem is this project addressed was the emerging need to deliver online School based common courses that are high quality and highly inter-active. Previously the course was run online but the only suitable text was not engaging, had a high readability index, poorly described difficult concepts and had no student support or relevant interactivities.
Professional Scientist is currently delivered in a face-to-face format to local students.
The course needed to be modified so that it can be made available in a fully online version for OUA using video resources, online collaboration tools and with educational technology.
