Library Resources
The University of Adelaide’s Barr Smith Library provides a range of learning resources including texts, journals, periodicals, magazines, and access to online databases and information services. It also offers a virtual library which is accessible via the University’s website. Access to the Library's electronic resources.

MyUni is the University of Adelaide's online learning environment. It is used to support traditional face-to-face lectures, tutorials and workshops at the University. MyUni provides access to various features including announcements, course materials, discussion boards and assessments for each online course of study.

This course is offered in blended learning mode.

A significant component of these intensives will be a flipped classroom experience, as well as sessions that require some excursions external to the classroom (example: excursion to visit the 3D printing lab). A range of guest speakers (a mix of recognised innovators from industry) will be brought in to supplement lectures.

As a guide, a 3 unit course comprises a total of 156 hours work (this includes face-to-face contact, any online components, and self directed study).

Q&A follows which further impacts the mark of the presentation.
