Details of Learning Activities
This course includes a work integrated learning (WIL) experience in which your knowledge and skills will be applied and assessed in a real or simulated workplace context
and where feedback from industry and/or community is integral to your experience.
Class structure
Each of our online classes will start with a live discussion via Collaborate Ultra. Karen will set you up with what is to be learned in class. Each week check out the learning objectives for the session including the key objectives.
Then there will be time for you to work through a task, following along to a pre-recorded tutorial video. During this time, Karen will still be on video in Collaborate Ultra, ready to help you with any questions you have or to ad-lib any additional learning that might pop up upon request.
The class will then wrap up with further discussion and chats about what's coming up next.
Throughout classes you are also invited to share your work with the group, engage in active discussion about tools and techniques, learning from each other as well as your teacher. One of the most powerful tools in Design and Decoration is the community that is building around it.
