Feedback from lecturers… • ‘I think the online resources are a great idea and appreciate how much work must have gone into them.’ • ‘I am a lecturer from the aged care dept at Mt Lawley, just a quick note to say how great the online tutorials are for the students, particularly the essay writing module.’ • ‘Class time does not usually permit for extra skills, like research, to be included. Having a resource that they can choose to do when it suits their schedule is invaluable.’ • ‘Many of my new students this semester have used it have found it to be very helpful.’
