Learning Resources and Educational Support

Metavision Institute is dedicated to providing students with comprehensive learning resources and a supportive infrastructure to facilitate academic success. The Institute’s approach encompasses learning support materials, technology, physical environments, and library resources, with ongoing efforts to enhance these provisions.

Learning Support Materials
Metavision Institute currently offers a suite of learning support materials, including a writing skills webinar and a Moodle module. The Institute recognises the need to expand these resources and improve their accessibility. Accordingly, there is a focus on developing additional materials addressing essential academic skills such as essay writing, critical analysis, time management, study strategies, and examination preparation. Referencing support is also being strengthened through dedicated workshops, easily accessible recordings, and clearly defined expectations.

Library Resources
Metavision Institute provides students with access to essential library resources through both a physical collection located at the Brisbane CBD premises and a comprehensive e-Library accessible online. These resources are integral to supporting students’ research and study needs.

Technology
Metavision Institute leverages technology to provide a robust learning environment, primarily through its learning management system (LMS), Moodle. This platform is generally regarded as sufficient in terms of quality, currency, and relevance for delivering learning content.

Student Representative Role

The role of the student representative is to encourage student participation in Academic Governance of Metavision.

The aim of the Student Representative feedback is to:

  • Support our strength-based and supportive environment.
  • To liaise with staff at Metavision on behalf of other students
  • To develop a Metavision holistic process approach to situations

 

The task of the student representative is to act as a conduit to the Academic Board for students’ voices who wish to bring academic issues to a body other than the administration or teachers. This may include issues of curriculum, content or delivery and concerns with students.  It is also to take information back to students from Metavision and to help students access personnel and resources at Metavision when needed.  

The Teaching and Learning Committee is responsible for the overseeing of the feedback distributing this to administration, teachers and the learning committee where it is addressed and a response provided back to the students.

Library Services

The library is located at the Head Office Level 3/97 Creek St, Brisbane City, QLD and is open to students Monday to Friday 9:00 am to 4:00 pm and during workshop intensives.

Electronic resources are available in online classrooms through the Sophia eLearning portal.

Contact the librarian with queries about the library collection and academic referencing librarian@metavision.edu.au

Special Consideration

Students in need of support with their study as a result of circumstances affecting their study may apply for special consideration, including assignment extensions.

The special consideration form is accessible on the forms page.

Reasonable Accommodation for Students with Disabilities

Metavision Institute offers reasonable adjustments to support students with disabilities or specific needs, aiming to minimize barriers and enable them to meet their course requirements. These adjustments, such as flexible study arrangements or modified deadlines, are considered reasonable if they balance the interests of all parties without compromising the academic integrity of the program or the standards for professional practice. The goal is to provide equitable access to learning for all students. The full details of this policy can be found in the Student Disability Policy.
