About e-Learning

• Learning online
• Learning via the TAFEVC (WebCT)
• Sample Course

There is no single approach to e-learning. Different courses are designed for different purposes and may look and function in very different ways.
For example a course unit may incorporate e-learning :

• To deliver off campus education
• To supplement class room resources
• To provide class communication out of school hours (class email and online discussion)
• Or it could be used in any mixture of all of the above.

Your teacher will provide some form of orientation for the course, which will include some information about how to use WebCT (the TAFEVC e-learning software). This will obviously vary from course to course.

Some of the main features of WebCT include:

• Online assessment tools
• Student tracking
• Simplified basic course creation
• Selective release of materials to students
• Personal student websites
• Calendar
• Student notes/journals
• Glossary
• Bulletin board (also called the Web Discussion)
• Internal course email
• Chat tool
• Whiteboard

Online learning is not available for International Students studying in Australia.
