By thoughtfully integrating face-to-face with online learning experiences, the blended learning experience combines the strengths in both modes to foster a community of inquiry approach while at the same time encouraging independent learning.
Online learning option is available for all Units to domestic students, particularly those who are remotely located, including indigenous students.
