Online Learning: Interact and Participate

Network and collaborate 

• Keep in touch with your tutor and lecturers
• Create and participate in virtual study groups for each module to discuss ideas, analyse texts together and swap study tips.
  • You can use group chats like Zoom, Skype, WhatsApp etc.

Support for your studies

Don’t deal with your problems in isolation: ask help from classmates; your personal tutor;  lecturers; student support services and the Academic Engagement and Learning Development team.
