The Workshop Resources are divided into 3 components -

  1. Preparatory Learning Activities (PLA) are completed at home/before class
  2. Workshop Learning Activities (WLA) are in-class facilitated activities
  3. Consolidated Learning Activities (CLA) are supplementary resources that reinforce your understanding of the material covered. Sometimes the CLA may incorporate extension activities. CLAs have few instructions especially when they are reinforcing activities already completed.

Resources are also available online through RMIT Library databases and other facilities.
