Getting e-started
E-learning is an educational system that
uses technology such as print, audio, video and computers, to reach learners in dispersed locations.
Lessons are delivered over the Internet via
a medium called the
platform.
Wine Campus manages its own platform or
e-classrooms where tutors and students meet
24/7.
Once you have registered for your chosen
course you will receive confirmation of your
unique username and password.
You can then enter your login details to
access your course homepage or e-classroom.

The platform will display a number of
courses as well as the course of your
choice.
Each course is divided into modules, these
are, when appropriate, divided into separate
lectures (or topics).
You can browse and study these lessons in
any order you choose.
However, we have listed them in recommended
order of study, to enhance your learning
experience.
Not all lessons or lectures are available
from the start but are posted as you
progress.
There's plenty course content which includes
lectures and notes, tasting tasks, news
articles, extra reading, podcasts and
videos.
You may open these by clicking on the title.
You can also always interact with other
students and your tutor.

Some lectures will conclude with an optional
or compulsory assessment and essays.
These tests will be multiple-choice
questions or will require a true/false
answer.
Essays will also be graded and each student
can view his grades via the platform.
Students need to successfully complete all
of the course tests and, in some
instances, practical assessments too.

The platform is optimised to view in all
browsers but we recommend that you use the
latest version of Internet Explorer.
You will also need to have flash player
installed on your computer.

The site is optimised for broadband users
for flash files.
If you have a dial up connection you may
experience delays in the download of flash
files.
You don't need to buy any other software.
Our platform works with free software such
