The University wishes to build on advances in technology, pedagogy and assessment in online learning to provide a range of exciting and engaging online courses for international markets. The courses are expected to be fully delivered online to a worldwide audience and consideration must be given to the design and operation of the course to ensure that all learners receive support throughout the course.
