Most subjects at the Renwick Centre are now offered through flexible
or distance education learning modes.
The Master of Special Education and the Graduate Certificate in Educational Studies can be completed through distance education. Courses offered through distance education are delivered through a combination of posted materials, online components, and compulsory residential schools.
For successful completion of your program through distance education, access to a computer and the Internet is essential.
Posted materials may include course outlines, lecture notes, and readings delivered either as hard copy or as electronic files. The online component may include online reference guides
, references to web sites, and discussion board activities. Residential schools may be scheduled for a block of up to five days or for one, two, or three weekends during a semester.
The Renwick Centre tries to schedule residential blocks during NSW/ACT school holidays and on weekends but it may be necessary to schedule outside of these times. It is the students’ responsibility to confirm with Renwick staff the dates of residentials prior to enrolling in a course. Attendance at residentials is compulsory.
Maximum opportunity will be provided during residential schools for access to support from the Renwick Centre Library, Renwick Centre Staff, and specialist staff from the Royal Institute for Deaf and Blind Children.
Check individual subjects in each course for flexible delivery options.
