Topic outline

  • The UniSA Online learning environment is your virtual study space.  Knowing what this environment looks like, where things sit and how to navigate it might take a bit of time, so we recommend that you start exploring early. By doing this, you can dedicate more time and energy from day one to your Course. Here is an overview to get you started.


    learnOnline 

    learnOnline (Moodle) is the platform on which your Course sites will sit.  All Course information including videos, readings, weekly activities and assessment tasks (both instructions and submission links) are found in your Course sites.  


    Your Course sites

    All UniSA Online Course sites will have a very similar look and feel, so you can transition from one Course to the next smoothly.  You can take a self-guided tour of a course by visiting learnOnline Help: Moodle User Tours

    Here is an example of the layout of a Course site.


    You can collapse the menu by clicking on the arrow button. To show the menu, click on the arrow button again.
