  Welcome
  Tēnā koutou katoa.  Welcome to this Moodle Hub where you can find resources to support your learning through Moodle here at the Faculty of Education, The University of Auckland.

  Make sure you take a few moments to familiarise yourself with the content available to you below.  This includes a specific section for students studying 'off-campus' on Flexible courses.

  Getting Started as a Flexi Student

  If you are new to flexible/online learning,  read through this section and familiarize yourself with other content in this Hub.  It will provide an introduction to what you might expect as a flexible student.

  You will learn most from engaging online with your classmates and lecturers.  It is up to you to be proactive by managing your study time and connecting regularly with your Faculty of Education online community.

  Get online, ask lots of questions and enjoy your flexible study.
