Approach

The Diploma of Human Resource Management (Information Systems) is a project-based approach to e-learning. This blended learning model offers learners a choice between using their own organisation or the simulated workplace 'STAR Industries' available with the HRM Diploma Flexible Learning Toolbox.

Comments

“This has been a great way of learning and teaching at the same time. The Toolbox allowed me to focus on learning, and adapting the resources to the learner’s needs rather than developing materials from scratch.

Probably the best thing about having readings, research, reviews and other learning activities is that you have more time as a teacher for feedback to learners – through emails, forums and chats in particular, and on the phone. Learners have been very positive about the methods of learning, although two comments stand out:

“Why couldn’t we have done this at the beginning of the Diploma?”,

“This is fantastic – are we allowed to look at all of this, at the resources for the other modules we’re doing too???” Jenni Harding
