How do I receive course instructions via email?
There are two ways in which OERu learners can opt in to receive course instructions via email:

How are the course emails scheduled?
OERu courses are designed for independent study. You can start at any time and work at your own pace. Instructions for OERu micro-courses are typically scheduled over two "working weeks" and we recommend that learners allocate about two (2) hours of study each "working day", that is, ten (10) hours per week. If you are planning to gain formal academic credit, additional work will be required to prepare for your assessments, which equates to approximately fifteen (15) to twenty (20) hours of work at your own pace. There is no restriction on how long you take to prepare assessments for formal credit.
Course instruction emails are automatically scheduled for each session of the micro-course based on the estimated "working days" of learning effort required to complete the tasks. Don't worry if you fall behind schedule due to your personal commitments or changes in your circumstances. OERu course materials will remain open and accessible for you to work as time allows and you can come back to review copies of the course announcements on this site at any time.
Can I unsubscribe from receiving course email instructions?
Yes, you can unsubscribe from receiving course announcements and/or newsletter and other communications from the OERu.
At the bottom of any email sent from the OERu, you will find an "Unsubscribe" link. Click on this link to visit our "Preference Centre" to customise your email channels.
