How online study works

With online study at GIS there are no fixed lecture times for the majority of the course, however we do feel it’s important to have some live sessions which will be factored into the module schedule and delivered at appointed times. These sessions will be recorded and uploaded onto GIS Collab, so if you are unable to attend don’t worry. All the information will be online for you, including notes, presentations, videos and links to resources and our online library.

Each module will require the completion of weekly activities set by your module leader as well as the submission of one to two assessments. You will be provided with lecture notes, reading material and activities to check your learning and there will be plenty of chances for you to ensure your work is aligned with the module leaders expectations.

Everything is contained within GIS Collab, which facilitates your flexible learning, and communication with and feedback from your module leader.
