Learning online at Norland

Online learning gives you flexibility in how and when you engage with your studies.

Moodle provides access to the resources, activities and information you need throughout your course, helping you engage with learning both independently and collaboratively.

The way your learning is structured may vary between courses, modules and programmes, but Moodle will be one of the main places where you access and complete learning activities.

Essential Technology

To participate fully in your programme, you should have access to:

• A reliable computer – A laptop or desktop computer suitable for studying, researching, writing assignments, and accessing online learning resources.
• A stable internet connection – Reliable internet access will allow you to engage consistently with online learning activities and university systems.
• A webcam and microphone – These may be needed for online meetings with your academic tutor.
• A suitable web browser – To access Moodle effectively, we would recommend using either Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome, as these are most compatible.

Accessing Your Learning Materials

Your tutors will use Moodle to provide learning materials, activities, assessment information and course updates.

You may find that resources become available at different points throughout your course rather than all at once. This helps ensure that materials are presented when they are most relevant to your learning.

Each course area may be organised differently, so take some time to familiarise yourself with the structure and information available within your courses.
