This course requires both on-campus practical and theory classes; and connectivity to learning management systems for self-paced study.

On-campus practical and theory classes:
For 3 hours every week, you will need to attend workshops and lectures on-campus.

Connectivity to learning management systems for self-paced study:
Once enrolled, you will receive information about how to login to our eCampus. Your study will include 6 to 8 hours a week using Blackboard, where you will access learning content, assignments, lesson plans and pre-reading for classes, at your place of choice, on or off-campus. To access the full suite of software activities, you will need to use College computers at Munster campus.
