How the on-line courses work:

On-line courses such as these have many benefits:

• It combines freedom to choose when and how to study, with an element of structure that however you are best motivated, the system will work for you.
• It avoids the costs of travel and accommodation (and room rental and expenses for us, hence your costs are kept down).
• It provides an opportunity for collaborative learning, unlike traditional distance learning courses which can be lonely undertakings
• We have found in similar situations that the element of separation from other students can individuals to open up more, and risk more in their interactions than may be the case face to face.

There are four distinct parts to these courses: 

1. Weekly webpages with the course content. Ethics, psychopathology and research courses run for three weeks, Human Development and Sexuality runs for six weeks
2. Weekly chatroom session. This is usually 1pm (UK time) on each Wednesday of the course. Your input to the chatroom will be assessed, but this is CHAT and so there is no need to be formal
3. The forum. You will find, dotted through the course content, some topics to discuss with your fellow students and tutor(s) on the forum. Debate is welcomed, and as with the chatroom, formality is not required.
4. Written assessment. You will find a link on each weekly page to the assessment page. We advise you start this early, and then problems can be discussed with your fellow students via the forum.
