Online teaching and learning
Academics are encouraged to consider supplementing their learning resources with an elearning site. The main university elearning system is Blackboard-WebCT Campus Edition 6 (CE6). This system is run by Sydney eLearning. Contact them to set up a basic site for your unit of study, for introductory group classes for WebCT, or for quick help using WebCT.
