On-line learning modules<br />

• As part <strong>of</strong> their academic orientation, students are expected to<br />

complete three online, self-paced modules within the first 10 weeks <strong>of</strong><br />

their enrolment:<br />

– Academic Conduct Essentials (ACE) introduces students to<br />

the basic issues <strong>of</strong> ethical scholarship and the expectations <strong>of</strong><br />

correct academic conduct at this <strong>University</strong>. <strong>The</strong> fostering <strong>of</strong><br />

academic integrity is given high priority at <strong>UWA</strong> and is supported<br />

by institutional policies and practices.<br />

– Indigenous Studies Essentials (ISE) introduces students to the<br />

shared learning space that <strong>The</strong> <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Western</strong> Australia<br />

embodies. This learning space includes both western and<br />

Indigenous knowledge systems.<br />

– Communication and Research Skills (CaRS) assists students<br />

in developing the ability to find and analyse information and to<br />

express and articulate their ideas within an academic context,<br />

through a series <strong>of</strong> online tutorials.
