Introduction

Let’s start by hearing from some international students who have completed a WIL activity as they explain what you will learn.

As technology and society are changing, so are workplaces and the way work is managed. 

Work can be undertaken in a variety of settings whether in an office, worksite, or working online from home, cafes, libraries, or anywhere. Organisations are constantly exploring new ways to use digital options making it easier to share information globally. As the modern workplace changes, so too is the way you can do WIL. There are increasing opportunities for you to experience WIL in an online environment. In this module we will examine the benefits and skills that will help you succeed in an online WIL experience.

Learners who successfully complete this module will be able to:

  • Define WIL in an online environment
  • Discuss the challenges and benefits associated with performing a WIL activity online
  • Recognise the role of effective communication in a successful online WIL activity
  • Discuss strategies for succeeding in an online WIL activity including wellbeing and safety
