BA History
How you study
The online learning environment (OLE)
The OLE is like a virtual classroom that the University uses to deliver the content of the degrees
via the Internet. It provides everything you need to study and to help you manage your learning.
The OLE will allow you to:
- access your course materials
- take part in discussions with the tutor and other students
- receive notices, seminar dates, project support and other programme-related information
- ask questions regarding the administration of the programme
- seek help for technical problems that you encounter
Online seminars
All courses for BA History feature a number of online seminars. Online seminars are regular,
formal discussions that will be moderated by a tutor. As a general rule, you will be expected to
participate in between three and seven online seminars for every course that you study. The seminars
will take place on set dates and will last for a set amount of time, usually about two weeks. A notice
about the dates for the online seminars will be available in the OLE. Please make sure you check
the notices regularly for any course-related information.
