Welcome cohort 2012


Hello students from Southern Cross University (Australia), Naresuan University Bangkok City Campus (Thailand) and the Management Development Institute of Singapore. Welcome and be part of our transnational team for the unit ISY00244. My name is Dr Mieke Witsel and I'm the unit coordinator for this unit. Today is Friday 13 January 2012 ... and I'm working from home (see photo of my farmhouse, taken in 1885), using technology to communicate with all of you, all over the world ... I still think it's amazing!!

There are four 'cohorts' this trimester: there is a small group studying internally at Tweed Gold Coast campus (with myself as facilitator); a group of external distance-education students (with myself as facilitator); a group at Naresuan University (with Dr Thotsapon Sortrakul as facilitator) and a group at MDIS in Singapore (with Mr Jonathan Lim as facilitator).

Most of the unit resources can be found in two places: all publicly available material can be accessed here on this blog (follow the labels on the right hand side) and non-publicly accessible material can be found under our university blackboard site, known as MySCU. Your SCU student login will gain you access to our ISY00244 MySCU blackboard site. Having said that, MySCU will be down this weekend for upgrades and will be live again on Monday 16 January.

Your first task is to familiarise yourself with the unit resources and the unit information guide. The unit information guide is available on the MySCU site under ISY00244 > Unit Documents.
