7 The first of our two MOOCs is a Work Readiness Programme, aimed at our exit level students, as well as anyone who is interested in topics such as Personal Branding, Social Media and Emotional Intelligence. The second MOOC focuses on Web & Digital Literacies and consists of six learning units that are activity driven and designed to grow your digital know-how and develop skills critical for the 21st century. Both these MOOCs can be accessed via the VCLearn pl atform. Support and training for VCLearn will be ongoing throughout your academic journey with us. A major contributing factor to the high pass rate at Varsity College is the strong emphasis on learning and teaching excellence in the classroom and new digital learning spaces. We see our lecturers as interactive facilitators, guides, mentors and learning architects in this learning process – there to support the personalised learning needs of a diverse group of students through technology enhanced learning and effective teaching practices.
