Overview

Online learning provides you with the flexibility to engage with learning material at your own convenience and pace. It encourages collaborative learning through a range of tools and activities, so that you can share and gain knowledge from your peers.

Flipped learning

In a flipped learning course (like this one), many of your learning resources are made available online before you attend your session. This means you can learn basic information / theory in your own time, freeing up session time to apply deeper thinking through context-based learning. 

To learn how videos can be used in flipped learning, check out the video below.

Netiquette (or network etiquette) is the set of rules that determine how to properly communicate and browse the web. An important part of netiquette concerns your online safety.
