Online study

At Curtin Business School, you have some flexibility to design your study mode to allow you to create a balance between study, work and other commitments.

Online learning uses the Internet as the primary delivery mode for content presentation, learning activities, and for collaboration with fellow students and facilitators. Some units are delivered completely online while others are delivered in mixed-mode. (online and face-to face).

Curtin Business School currently uses a system called Blackboard to deliver unit(s) directly to your computer and to communicate with your facilitator and fellow students.

Mixed mode

Mixed-mode means that the units have some online components as well as some face-to-face components. Many of your regular face-to-face units will also be supported with an online unit site, from which you can access a unit outline, download learning materials and communicate with peers and tutors. What is delivered online and what is delivered face-to-face varies between units.

Fully online

Fully online is where the main mode of learning is provided by interacting with the Internet or downloading pre-packaged material from the Internet.


 



"I was worried about how motivated I would be for online study, but I knew that it was my best chance to start the qualification I have wanted to study for the last three years. When I lived in Perth there was always too much to do but now that I am living in the country I can study online and still spend time with friends and family."
