The live conversations

We use Microsoft Teams for our live sessions

Each course will have regular, real-time, sessions that are delivered online and open to all, we call these live conversations. These sessions are less formally-structured than what some of you may be used to. They are a chance to meet with peers and tutors to discuss ideas, talk through concerns and generally get to know each other.

They are optional and do not contain core content required for successful completion of the course. In other words, you will not be disadvantaged in terms of your assessment if you are unable to join, particularly if you use the discussion boards to pose questions about things you are unsure of. The live conversations are recorded and can be watched later at your convenience.

You will see from the timetable that these sessions are delivered in two different time slots - the second is repeating the same subject content, so you do not have to join both sessions.  If you are unable to join, we record them so that you can watch at a time convenient to you.

 

You will need:

  • A computer with internet access (preferably broadband)
  • A headset with earphones and microphone (if not built-in)
  • A webcam
