FLEXIBLE LEARNING DUE TO COVID-19

Dear students,


As you know, TAFE colleges will remain open during Australia's coronavirus shutdown. Most importantly is to stay aware of the latest information on the COVID-19 pandemic, take care of your health and protect others.

However, we are in the process of organising educational applications, platforms and resources to assist students in  their learning and interaction during this period. As a continuing student you need to stay in touch with your teachers and follow their instructions for each unit accordingly. 

Image result for emailsWith the reading unit, for now, we will be using our class blog as one of the online delivery platforms. I will be putting resources and tasks for you to complete and send them back to me as blog posts or via email so you can practise enough to be prepared for the assessment in Week 10.
Image result for skype for businessI really appreciated that Ali, Zahra, Zainab and Amina came this morning and we discussed the flexible delivery of the reading unit. Thanks guys and I hope the other students will follow my instructions.

To wrap it up please have your mobiles on, check your class blog and your emails on a regular basis. I will also organise Skype for Business and next Wednesday we can get together.
