From Your Student Services Team IA10: Are There Any Live Lessons? How the Learning Method Works
At Oxford College, we understand that starting a new course—especially an online one—can raise many questions. One we’re often asked is: “Are there any live lessons?” This article from your Student Services Team will explain how our learning model works and what you can expect from your course experience.
Are There Live Lessons?
The short answer is no, there are no live, scheduled lessons or video classes as part of our course delivery. Oxford College’s programmes are built around flexible, independent learning, designed to give you complete control over your study schedule. This means:
- No set class times
- No live webinars or lectures
- No pressure to be online at a specific time
This format suits many of our students—especially those balancing their studies with work, parenting, or other commitments.
So, How Does the Learning Work?
While we don’t run live lessons, your course is carefully structured to guide you step-by-step through the material. Here’s how it works:
1. Self-Paced Learning Materials
Once enrolled, you’ll receive access to a comprehensive range of course materials, which may include:
- Detailed modules and units
- Study guides and assignment instructions
- Supplementary resources and reading lists
These are available through your student portal and can be accessed 24/7.
2. Assignments Instead of Exams
Most of our courses are assignment-based. That means you’ll complete and submit written assignments for tutor feedback, instead of sitting timed exams.
This approach allows you to demonstrate your understanding at your own pace, with time to research and reflect—just as you would in a real-world work environment.
3. Dedicated Tutor Support
You’ll be assigned a qualified tutor for your course who is available via email to support you throughout your studies. Tutors will:
- Mark your assignments and provide feedback
- Answer course-related questions
- Help you stay on track and make progress
While they don’t hold live lessons, their role is vital in supporting your learning journey.
4. Student Services Assistance
Our Student Services Team is always here to help with:
- Course access and navigation
- Technical issues
- Study tips and planning
If you ever feel stuck, we’re only an email away.
Why We Use This Model
Our flexible, assignment-based learning method is ideal for adult learners, career changers, and anyone who needs to fit their education around a busy life. It also means we can keep course costs lower, remove geographical barriers, and make quality learning more accessible.
In Summary
While there are no live lessons, the course is designed to be clear, supportive, and flexible. With your tutor’s help and the full backing of Student Services, you are never alone in your studies.
