Learning during COVID

Study online and on campus.

RMIT’s blended learning approach provides flexibility for your learning to be easily adapted during times of uncertainty. If government advice and health and safety considerations result in timetabled learning activities not being able to take place on campus, you will continue these activities online or be provided alternatives. If this happens, your course or program coordinator will provide more information and advice on your options.

Attend classes easily from wherever you are

Have more control over the time you spend studying

Connect with other students and form valuable networks

Frequently asked questions

Digital learning is a core part of every student’s experience at RMIT. This may be in the form of readings, videos or other kinds of learning materials that you can access on demand through Canvas (our digital learning platform) as you learn at your own pace. Sometimes, you may be invited to participate in online discussion forums or simulations.

This is complemented by timetabled classes on campus, such as lectorials, tutorials, practicals or workshops, which provide ample opportunity for you to interact and collaborate with other students and your teachers.

All lectures will be recorded and available to students on demand, so they can watch these in their own time.

Other classes, such as tutorials and workshops, may be on campus, online or a mix of both.

Classes requiring specialist equipment and spaces will be prioritised for on campus learning.

RMIT uses Canvas, a learning and teaching platform, to record and store lectures so you can go back and re-watch them at any point and review tasks set by your lecturer.

Tutorials, workshops and seminars are being held online via a video-based system that allows teachers to present interactive content during classes. You’ll login and join your teachers and classmates, participating as you would when attending face-to-face classes.

Your subjects may require group work, online discussion, or other interactive activities as required for assessment, all of which can be done online.

We understand that many courses and subjects are best suited face-to-face teaching, such as those that use labs, studio space, and those that require hands-on learning and facilities. 

Wherever possible, we have reworked our course content to allow for online teaching. 

If you are unable to attend campus in Semester 1 2022 due to ongoing travel restrictions or legitimate personal circumstances, you will either be offered the option to take equivalent online activities or complete activities on campus at a future date.

RMIT is committed to ensuring no students are disadvantaged regardless of how and where they study. However, students should be aware that if they cannot attend campus, this may result in delays to their progression and program completion.

Assessments at RMIT are authentic, practical and relevant to your future work. As the world of work shifts to a blend of digital and face-to face activity, many of your assessment activities and submissions will be delivered online. There will be no face-to-face exams unless there is a professional accreditation requirement in your program.
