Online

Learn at your own pace, in your own space. Lecturer support will be provided via email and interaction with fellow students may be available via forums and chat groups. Online courses require access to a computer with an internet connection.

Virtual Classroom 

Virtual classrooms are different from online delivery in that student and lecturers connect in real-time via web-conferencing. Your course will be delivered online, but to a scheduled timetable.
