Print Materials

   /   
Print material generally comprises a Course Administration Guide or Outline, providing details of how the paper is to be run, and often a set of readings.


To support the learning process, material is usually modularised (e.g., relating to weeks, the web/video/audio conference schedule, or discrete topics).

Within many departments or programmes, teaching teams develop a common presentation format; not only to ensure consistent quality standards but also commonality across papers. Print materials are often provided on your paper’s Blackboard or other online learning system site, or by a combination of print and digital media (e.g., Blackboard/Moodle, DVDs).

If your course includes printed hard copy material, it should be supplied in University of Otago ring binders or folders with standardised covers designating the course, programme and department. Making arrangements for these is one of the departmental administrator’s tasks. Contact Uniprint.
