A large part of studying online (as it is with face-to-face on-campus) is the opportunity to discuss topics, issues and even socialise with your classmates. Like many things in life, the greater the effort you put in with your course forums, the greater positive effect on your learning!
Tell us a little about who you are, where are you from and what your interests and ambitions are for learning online with USQ.
