Distance Education for Staff
Distance Education provides the following support for staff and students:
Queries
The Distance Education office serves as a first point of contact for students and can answer administrative queries or direct them to the relevant area. In this way queries are filtered for the academic staff.
Assignments
Assignments submitted via Distance Education by post, email, fax or hand-delivered are recorded on Student One. When the assignments have been marked, Distance Education logs the marks and returns them to the students. In this way backup records are maintained. Please note that this does not include assignments submitted via the DROP box on FLECS-Blackboard
OASIS
DE can assist students with logging into OASIS. If students experience problems DE can refer them to the relevant helpdesk.
FLECS-Blackboard
If a separate site is required for the external students DE can upload the materials to FLECS-BB and liaise with the library's eReserve system to ensure readings are updated.
Mid-Semester Tests
If a unit has a mid-semester test DE can organise this for the off campus students.
Going the Distance Booklet
All Distance Education students are sent a copy of the Going the Distance Booklet which provides information about studying externally. A copy is attached.
Please note that the above applies to units offered in the Central External mode. Units offered in the Area External mode (with the exception of Open Universities Australia units) are handled by the school.
