As a student at Hibernia College, you will interact with three main forms of content on a weekly basis: On demand content, live synchronous tutorials and fora. Here are some examples:
On Demand Content
This fully interactive content represents the main lecture material and can be studied online, downloaded for viewing offline or downloaded as a podcast.
It can consist of text, audio, diagrams, animations and video. This sample lesson is from the college’s M.A. in Teaching and Learnng,
Live Virtual Classes
Each on-demand lesson will be accompanied by a scheduled live class where students and the tutor can interact as if in a normal classroom.
In the virtual classroom, the tutor is able to pull up material on a whiteboard and facilitate discussions on this material. All students can communicate (by voice and text) with the group or privately with the tutor.
Learner Communities
You will be asked to reflect on each week’s material in the course discussion forum or through a personal learning diary. Fellow students will comment on your experience and post their own comments. You can also build groups of friends and send private messages to fellow students.
