Learning Outcomes
Details of Learning Activities
Read topic one in the Learner Guide: HLTOPD407C Perform workshop skills and place orders. Upon completion of topic one complete the self-assessment checklist from the learner guide. Once you have done this progress to the next topic and continue until all topics are completed.
• Once you have read all of the topics and completed the self-assessments you are ready to do the online self-assessment task. The self-assessment will check your level of understanding of the unit and provide you with some feedback.
• Refer to Evidence Portfolio Items . Familiarise yourself with the content
A combination of activities will support students learning in this course, such as:
• Face to face and or online lectures to cover theoretical and practical concepts for each topic in the course
• Students will learn to apply their skills and knowledge to work integrated learning (WIL), during simulations and classroom based learning
• Observations of performance in the workplace and industry placement or simulated environment will be a valuable part of your learning experience
• Tutorial activities (individually and in teams) to discuss, debate, critique and consolidate your ideas and extend your understanding around key concepts within specific topics
• Online discussion and activities support you to collaborate with other students in your course and debate and debate and discuss ideas
• Self directed study time to enhance and strengthen your knowledge and understanding of theoretical concepts
• To further facilitate learning, students are strongly encouraged to use a range of communication tools between themselves and their course instructor as well as between themselves and fellow students by using the online learning platform
Teaching Schedule
• Students who come for blocks of learning at RMIT City campus will be required to attend Cluster 1 week beginning 3rd August 2015 and Cluster 2 week beginning 16th November 2015
• Students who are part of the Full Time Program will attend class Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
Students who form part of the SpecSavers group are required to attend the appropriate Cluster as advised on Blackboard
