can also participate in the online/zoom
discussions facilitated via CareyOnline.
Your course teacher will provide detail
around this during the semester.
ZOOM
Zoom is an online video conferencing
tool we use at Carey to facilitate the
course. The Zoom classes are designed
for ALL students to participate in. Why do
we do this? We strongly believe that deep
learning occurs when we are required
to engage in a range of ideas, articulate
and defend our thinking to peers—in
essence to have complex conversations
around ideas and knowledge. We strongly
recommend that you prioritise the time
to join in with the Zoom classes. This
will also help you get to know the rest of
the class!
