Flexible Unit Model
Students are increasingly requesting more flexibility in the way they study. Academic Council
has approved the implementation of an approach to flexible teaching and learning in which a single
coherent package of unit materials is available to all students and is accessed by them according
to their circumstances.
The elements of a flexible unit are:
- Unit Information and Learning Guide (stripped of generic information –
template developed
by the Teaching and Learning Centre)
- Unit Welcome Page (online
– one available for each unit)
- Unit Reader available in print form and may also be available through ECMS (Electronic Course
Materials Service)
- Lectopia recordings
- Online capabilities used as appropriate.
While not all units are able to be accessed entirely flexibly, the flexible model
has become the "cultural standard" for the university through a phased transition
over the period 2002-2007. For further details refer to: http://www.murdoch.edu.au/admin/cttees/flic/
The Teaching and Learning Centre has developed templates for use with both print and online
materials.
- Unit Information and Learning Guide templates
- Online unit template – use the Online Unit Request System from the Teaching and Learning
tab in the Staff Portal.
