Q1: What is a full online course?

A full online course is delivered 100% online via the Canvas learning management system, where face-to-face sessions are replaced with video conferencing sessions known as Online Seminars.

Full online courses feature an assortment of virtual learning tools, interactive activities and other resources designed to keep students fully engaged in an exclusively online learning environment.

Q2: Are the assigned course credit units the same for a full online course, a blended course and a face-to-face course?

Yes. The assigned course credit units (e.g. 5 credit units) are the same for a course, regardless of the mode of its delivery.

Q3: If I enrol in a full online course, are there any online classes that I am required to attend, at a specific time every week?

If you enrol in a full online course, there are online seminars on a fixed day and time every week, where you are encouraged to take part in a live online session with your instructor.

Online Seminars are between 7.00pm - 9.00pm on the scheduled course run day.

Q4: Is there a minimum number of hours that I need to spend online to complete a full online course?

Q5: Will there be an examination component for the full online course?
