Course Details

Course Summary

Neuroscience is revealing the effects of stress on the learner and learning environment. In this online micro-credential, you will learn about the extent of mental health issues in schools and the importance of creating environments and relationships that are conducive to learning and student engagement. Also, that the brain does not exist in isolation and that its ability to function well is dependent on a strong brain-body link. This micro-credential draws upon the latest research evidence covering the importance of exercise, sleep and nutrition on the brain – and body.

Course Structures

Study Mode Definitions

  • Online: Online courses provide the flexibility to study without normally requiring a student to visit a campus. Course content is studied through a number of means including the use of online discussion forums, electronic library resources, by contacting lecturers and teachers, and receiving study materials online/electronically. Work integrated learning, including placements, may be included in some courses.
  • On-campus: Students studying in on-campus mode typically are expected to attend and participate in regular, structured on-campus teaching and learning activities throughout the University’s academic term. These activities may include lectures, tutorials, workshops and practice, online or other activities and normally will be timetabled at a CQUniversity campus or approved delivery site.
  • Mixed Mode: Students studying in mixed mode will participate in a combination of online learning activities in addition to site-specific learning activities, which may include residential schools, co-op placements and/or work-integrated learning as a compulsory requirement of a unit. The additional site-specific learning activities are what differentiates a mixed-mode unit from an online unit.
