COVID-19 (coronavirus) advice for the UQ community - ICTE - Online

Yes, you will require a laptop or personal computer when accessing your English course online.

Online classes will have the same attendance requirements as your face-to-face course. If you do not attend your online class, you will be marked absent. If you do not attend online classes for more than three consecutive days, you will need a medical certificate. Remember that ICTE students on a student visa must have a minimum 80 per cent attendance record to meet visa requirements.

You will interact online in live classes with your teacher and other students via Zoom and UQ’s online learning platform Blackboard (Learn.UQ), as well as other interactive online learning platforms. 
If you are unable to access your username and password to log into UQ systems, please contact IT services.

Your classes can be accessed via Zoom and UQ’s online learning platform Blackboard (Learn.UQ) through the UQ VPN. Click here to read the steps to install the Chinese VPN to enable you to access the course content on Blackboard.

All online courses will be supplemented with learning tools and modules, which are free and accessible to all enrolled students. We have also moved our learning support and student engagement activities online to ensure students are engaged, supported, and achieving their learning goals. Please see our recent announcement on these initiatives here, or visit our website for more information.

As soon as we are advised that we can resume face-to-face teaching, we will. We will also ensure we provide all students with a range of offerings and opportunities to help you re-engage with your studies, reconnect with your teachers and peers, and participate in a range of important learning activities.
