, Role of the Study Guide
STUDENTS WHO CANNOT ACCESS THE INTERNET ON A REGULAR BASIS
As part of your module study package you will receive a document in printed format, marked as LML4806/4/2018. The
university decided that for online modules, all materials that are uploaded under Learning Units on myUnisa must also be
provided to all students in print or in another format that does not require online access.
If you cannot access myUnisa on a regular basis you can rely on the Study Guide most of the time but because there are links
to websites and videos that are hosted on the internet you must plan your studies in a manner that will allow you to visit
these links from time to time. There are also activities in this module that must be done online and which could therefore not
be included in the Study Guide. Students who go online regularly will have the advantage of being able to share ideas or
discuss problems with other students on the Discussion forum. If you are unable to go online regularly you can benefit from
the discussions that took place if you read through these discussions when you have an opportunity to do so.
