The distance/remote learning course will combine live seminars and one-to-one tutorials with weekly online lectures and self-study materials. Seminars and tutorials will be conducted synchronously using the videoconferencing platform BigBlueButton, while self-study aspects of the course will be organised using XJTLU’s dedicated virtual learning platform, Learning Mall Online (LMO). The last week of the course will include assessments and induction to in-sessional academic English courses.
