Participation requirements

It is essential that students actively participate in all lectures and tutorials.

Such participation is required by students in order to meet the Australian Occupational Therapy Competency Standards (2018).

Therefore, except in the case of extenuating circumstances, 100% attendance at the seminars, workshops and practice education placements is expected.

It is also expected that if students are unable to meet these participation requirements they inform the Unit Convener as soon as practical, by telephone or email.

Required IT skills

This unit involves online meetings in real time using the Virtual Room in your UCLearn teaching site. The Virtual Room allows you to communicate in real time with your lecturer and other students. To participate verbally, rather than just typing, you will need a microphone. For best audio quality we recommend a microphone and speaker headset. For more information and to test your computer, go to the Virtual Room in your UCLearn site and 'Join Course Room'. This will trigger a tutorial to help familiarise you with the functionality of the virtual room.
