    Is there any chance you might help me to find the 3 other health units you've mentioned? Would be awesome - thank you

    • IVI on 25/01/2016 - 07:10

      So, is this a MOOC?

      Is it at least offered online?

      …& is there a limit to the number of students who can enroll?

      Sounds costly, if not a MOOC, but it's great value to those who take it…

      PS Just found this:

      "What do I need to do to enrol and what support is available?

      Students must enrol in a formal course, a diploma, associate degree or bachelor degree, to take advantage of these opportunities. Our courses aim to build confidence and capacity to develop a pathway to success.

      We hope that you will be encouraged by the quality and flexibility of these particular units, and the academic support available, to continue with further study and complete a course. We are aware of the need to manage work-life balance, and we offer flexible learning plans that can help tailor a program to suit individual circumstances. We work closely with our students to support their progression through these learning opportunities."

        If you're an "addictive" type, I suggest you listen to a CBC
        podcast, ie, BEFORE you take-up with a FitBit (or similar)
        body-data measuring device:

        • use app "CBC Radio" to play "Columnists" episode:

        • "Monitoring your Data for Good instead of Evil"

        (It's currently easy to find & play: Just Click on image
        of a woman streatching, on a sidewalk, ie, from the first
        page that opens in the app, of "Featured" episodes.)

        A researcher tells how she
        began to feel bad about the
        data she recorded, or if the
        device malfunctioned or would
        not perform as it should…

      The way I understand it office 365 is restricted to current students, and you loose access once you finish your course. Not sure how it works but seems like its strictly controlled by the uni.

          (early AM really)

          of the "rollie-pollies" observed to live in Tas.,
          but they may not be able to offer course ONLY
          to Tas. residents.

      I took this course S1 2015. At the time it was weekly multiple choice quizzes, and then a 3 part assignment at the end. Part of it was a reflection on your use of the fitbit, part of it was an annotated bibliography of literature on activity trackers, and part of it was a response to a scenario about a person and how to increase their exercise level.

      I already have a Bachelors. I did not find it hard to do well. The first few weeks were common sense, then it got more in depth and interesting. The lecturers do research in this area. Increasing the activity level of seniors, and increasing activity level in the workplace were the two sections I found most memorable. I remember Zombies Run! came up in one of the lectures. I was surprised that they could get 13 weeks of content out about activity trackers, but they did. The literature was through PubMed, and a difference referencing system to which I used in my previous degree, so it was interesting to learn a bit about how things are done in the health sciences.

      Part of the course gives you access to software they have created https://www.tracktivity.com.au which sort of gamifies using the fitbit. I didn't find it motivating enough to continue using it, it sends a lot of emails, but might be a benefit

      In the semester I took it, the fitbits did not arrive until around Week 11 of the course. There was a delay which they apologised for, but I don't think you can enrol, get the fitbit, and drop out before the census date. Even if the fees are waived, a fail will appear on a UTas transcript, and if you were applying for uni study elsewhere, you have to disclose all attempts at tertiary study. I would not enrol unless you intend to do the whole course, and do ok at it.

      Overall I would recommend it though

        • toniyellow on 25/01/2016 - 21:06
          +5

          I say it would requires at most 1.5 hours a week for weeks 2 - 11, and a weekend for the final assignment

          The lecture videos in sum take about 40 - 50 minutes a week - each week they post a few ~15 minute videos - as the theme of the course is being sedentary will kill you, you're meant to take breaks and move between videos.

          About 10-20 minutes pausing to take a few notes, then the online quiz has a 20 minute limit. I can't remember the exact rule but quizzes are open for maybe 2-3 weeks, so you don't actually have to do things weekly, you could do it in chunks. I did that when work got busy, ignored it for two weeks then spent a saturday afternoon catching up.

          The final assignment is the only time you'll have to research anything go outside of what they've given you. I spent a weekend on that, but it wasn't stressful. I knew I had enough marks from the quizzes to pass.

          It was more lightweight than I remember uni subjects being - but my most recent memories are third year subjects. Maybe first year units were that cruisey.

    Don't you have to pay Uni fees or apply for HECS?

    • burningrage on 25/01/2016 - 07:34

      From the website

      Fees and Scholarships

      Domestic students* will receive a full HECS (Higher Education Contribution Scheme) scholarship for the Foundations of Technology for Healthy Living unit in 2016.

      The HECS scholarship is automatically applied when you enrol in the Foundations of Technology for Healthy Living within the Diploma of University Studies but will not show on your invoice, accessible via eStudent.

      You may notice in the University of Tasmania Course and Unit Handbook that the costs of units are explicitly stated. Please be assured that this is a cost covered by your HECS Scholarship for the Foundations of Technology for Healthy Living within the Diploma of University Studies in 2016.

      Study in 2017 may attract HECS tuition fees, however for Australian citizens these may be deferred under the HECS-HELP Scheme. For further information on HECS-HELP consult the Australian Tax Office (ATO) guidelines.

      Students will also receive a waiver for the Student Services and Amenities Fee (SSAF). The funds from this fee are normally allocated to the improvement of services and amenities for students of the University. For the Foundations of Technology for Healthy Living unit, the fee has been waived and will be automatically applied during the enrolment process.

      A requirement for all students receiving a HECS Scholarship for this unit is compulsory completion of the eCAF. The eCAF (electronic Commonwealth Assistance Form) is a government form that is available online through eStudent. Completing the form is a requirement for all students. Instructions for how to complete the eCAF form will be included in the Foundations of Technology for Healthy Living unit content.

      Should you have any problems submitting your eCAF, please contact us via this form.

      *Domestic students include Australian citizens or students holding Permanent Humanitarian Visas or with Permanent Resident Status. Citizens of countries outside of Australia, including New Zealand, are not eligible to study this unit.

      Short answer is no by the look of this

      • [Deactivated] on 25/01/2016 - 07:51

        If you have to apply for HECS then short answer is yes unless you don't have to pay back HECS anymore

          From the blerk in the last thread

          Yes, you have to fill in an eCAF (basically: here's my TFN). But $0 will get charged against your TFN, therefore no HECS debt, so no paying later. They will provide an invoice a week before Census date showing the $0 cost.

          @clarky: UTas is paying a "HECS scholarship", i.e. they are covering the HECS student contribution as well. You'll still be claiming Commonwealth assistance, but the university will cover the full amount.

    This part of form seems BROKEN:

    Instead of ONE set of Radio Buttons for highest Grade completed,
    there are 3 Yes/No prompts, ie, for:

    • Year 10
    • Year 11
    • Year 12

    Answering ONLY, eg, Year 12 causes an Error: 2 Qs not complete

    Answering, eg, Year 11 Yes (as well as Year 12 Yes) REMOVES Year 12 Q!
    (I suppose a similar error occurs for Year 10 Yes.

    OOPS! My error… You just have to FILL-IN year & school FOR EACH GRADE!

    I guess we all have to under-report: ie, just Yes to Year 10, and
    see if we can still report additional courses completed below…

    (I still consider this a BROKEN form, at least for those with degrees,
    or who've completed other post High School educ/tech courses.)

    WHAT's this:

    • Student number for post-secondary qualification

    Placing in Class or Something from Diploma/"sheepskip"?

    PS I assume it's an online course:

    "Congratulations!

    You have successfully completed the enrolment form for the Technology for Healthy Living unit offered by the University of Tasmania. Expect to receive your University of Tasmania username and password by email and/or hard copy within 10 working days.

    If you are a current University of Tasmania student, use your current username and password to log in when the unit commences."

    WAIT, THERE's MORE:

    "Domestic students* will receive a full HECS (Higher Education Contribution Scheme) scholarship for the Foundations of Technology for Healthy Living unit in 2016.

    The HECS scholarship is automatically applied when you enrol in the Foundations of Technology for Healthy Living within the Diploma of University Studies but will not show on your invoice, accessible via eStudent."

    As I understand HECS (of past), this "Scholarship" is/was a loan, right?
    so, is one borrowing the cost of the course(s) one enrolls in?

    • [Deactivated] on 25/01/2016 - 09:02

      A scholarship should be seen as a gift. By that, I mean the giving party wouldn't have a claim for that gift's return, and the recipient would never be asked to give it back.

      A loan on the other hand, is a debt that would obviously need to be repaid.

      Now, this deal is about a scholarship as opposed to a HECS debt which is a loan.

        Wonder if you did 3 of these you'd be full time?

    Please resist from enrolling in his course for the sake of a free Fitbit. There is a significant cost of $1000 billed to the taxpayer for each participant. If you want a Fitbit so bad you'd be willing to bill your neighbour $1000 for one, then I don't really know what to say!

    If you are genuinely interested in the course content and would consider a longer study program, then great. This is a nice pathway into a university course.

    • proudwanderer on 25/01/2016 - 10:07

      How do you know it's $1000?

        These courses range from $1800-$2200 at UTAS (see the individual course details). The student contribution ranges from $750 to $1100. This is being waived for the above courses, but the Commonwealth supported component remain. Pretty simple maths.

      Agreed. No idea why the moderator erroneously considered my negative vote improper.

    can I take this concurrently with my current full time bachelor's? if it's free free then I wouldn't mind learning about patients rights from a perspective outside of my mbbs

      Instead of running for parliament again, it would probably be a good idea.

        do i get advanced placement for being minister for health under Jonno?

        • gringo on 25/01/2016 - 10:55

          Tony, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.

          To earn or learn without debt and deficit is the prudent, frugal and responsible thing to do.

          You might even get jobs and growth to help you lift, not lean

          Anyway, while this may not stop the boats - it might help us become a stronger Australia!

      At least your chance of being accepted to study at UTAS is far higher than getting re-elected as Warringah Liberal MP!

    • YellowBear on 25/01/2016 - 22:44

      I'd also like to know if it's possible. I've been wondering about enrolling in an online degree/diploma concurrently with my (offline) bachelor's for some time now but it doesn't seem very possible… since I'd then technically be a student in two universities.

  • hogwarts on 25/01/2016 - 08:59

    So is everything free or is there some charges; eg. a levy or time taken by the professor?

  • atlas on 25/01/2016 - 09:01

    So this is a single unit? Is there a requirement to complete any other units?

  • Lem_is_cool on 25/01/2016 - 09:29

    Thanks for this. I've passed on to some friends and family it might interest. I was tempted by free fitbit and the obvious learning something new, but I'll save the spots for people who want it/need the subject more.

  • shadow131 on 25/01/2016 - 09:45

    would this course affect my transcript?

      This scares me as a penultimate student

      "THIS IS A FORMAL ACADEMIC UNIT
      Please note that this is a University unit and your resulting grade will appear on your academic record. If you do not envisage that you will be able to commit 4-5 hours per week of online study time, you may not pass the unit. If you are unable to meet the requirements of the unit, you may withdraw without penalty before Census date (details provided in the unit)

    • blerk on 25/01/2016 - 10:16

      Are you a UTAS student? If so, try to do well in the course (my CQU transcript lists all previous unit [course] attempts in all courses [programs]). If at another uni, well why would it?

    • Save Medicare on 25/01/2016 - 10:28

      Probably wouldn't care enough about this unit to get more than a pass, but I wouldn't want potential employers to see that if I'm going for a potential job. If I don't list this on my cv, would it be possible for graduate schools or employers to find it?

      • DarkLotus on 25/01/2016 - 14:50

        Yes it will if the graduate school or employer ask UTAS for your academic transcript.

        • ajdlinux on 26/01/2016 - 00:25

          …which they won't if you don't tell them you studied at UTas. Which obviously wouldn't work if you got your main degree through UTas, and some employers are particularly careful to demand full histories, but for most purposes…

  • AndyRates on 25/01/2016 - 10:01

    To graduate in Diploma of University Studies (Health Science) how many units do you need to finish? Do you get hard copy certificate?

    • Save Medicare on 25/01/2016 - 10:39

      curious about this too. do they offer a dip arts that these units could apply to?

      • Psychd on 25/01/2016 - 12:02

        Yeah can't find the course on there for the life of me.
        Anyone have a link to the course outline ?

      • [Deactivated] on 25/01/2016 - 12:38

        They're pretty specific that the unit ONLY applies to the Diploma of University Studies (Health Science).

        • Psychd on 25/01/2016 - 12:42

          That's cool if the Dip Uni Studies is worthwhile, but until I can find an outline for it, it's impossible to say.
          Other Uni's are now offering credit for MOOC units.

  • movieman on 25/01/2016 - 10:19

    Do you need to be an Australian resident to apply?

    How about overseas students?…

    Found the answer - australian's only.

  • tks1432 on 25/01/2016 - 10:28

    In the FAQ (Considering applying)
    "In order to enrol in the Foundations of Technology for Healthy Living (CXA004) unit, you will need to apply for a place in the Bachelor of General Studies. This will occur automatically when you complete the online application form."

    • Save Medicare on 25/01/2016 - 10:52

      can't you also do it as part of a dip.*University Studies?

    • ra1ph on 25/01/2016 - 11:44

      At the bottom of the page provided by OP
      "This unit forms part of the Diploma of University Studies (Health Science). After completing Foundations of Technology for Healthy Living, the opportunity exists to undertake further units within the Diploma of University Studies (Health Science)."

  • lordra on 25/01/2016 - 10:48

    So do the one with free tuitions get the fitbit?

  • spersephone on 25/01/2016 - 12:22

    I am interested in this course anyway, and have applied. I previously completed a postgraduate course with my university, but within a few months of completion, my edu.au email address was no longer accessible. I don't think you can claim a lifetime education email address with this one either. There is nowhere on the application that suggests you're applying for anything other than this single unit of study.
