HOW TO GET THE MOST FROM THIS COURSE

In remote learning, the study units or modules replace the university lecture.
This is one of the great advantages of elearning; you can read, listen or watch and work
through specially designed study materials at your own pace, and at a time and place
that suits you best
Each of the study modules follows a common format. The first item is an
introduction or overview of the subject matter of the module. Next to this is a set of
learning objectives. These objectives let you know what you should be able to do by the
time you have completed the unit. These learning objectives are meant to guide your
study. The moment a module is finished, you must go back and check whether you
have achieved the objectives. If this is made a habit, then you will significantly improve
your chance of learning or passing the course. The main body of the module guides you
through the required reading/lessons; a summary of the module is also given as a
review of the module. After this, you will be required to do set of learning activities
followed by assessment activities.

The following is a practical strategy for working through the course. If you run into
any trouble, contact your instructor via the messaging feature of the LMS and/or
Facebook. Remember that your instructor’s job is to help you when you need
assistance, so do not hesitate to contact and ask your instructor to provide it.
