How will you learn?

Learning hours are asynchronous. This means you complete them in your own time. There is no set class time, and learning takes place at different times for students/ ākonga enrolled in the programme. You are encouraged to interact with other students/ ākonga through forums and group messaging. Keep in mind that not everyone likes to study when you do, so you may need to wait for a response.

The learning hours include:

reading, watching, and completing the activities on the online campus
completing assessments
self-directed practicals.
