Resources
Library
The Metavision Institute Library has a good selection of books that are available for loan to students throughout the year. We do carry all of the books on the reading list but recommend students to purchase their own for use during the extended home study periods and for their ongoing reference.
Please use the following form to have any questions relating to the collection or student needs answered.
Book Shop
Sue Sharp at Phoenix Rising Bookshop sources books required for the course. You can give Sue a call on 02 - 956 62157 with any requests; she is a fountain of information and knows the field well, she has been most helpful in the past. Sue offers 11% discount to students of the Metavision Institute. During the first intensive Sue visits the Institute and delivers books ordered prior to the course. This can be a great convenience.
You may prefer to source elsewhere such as through amazon or other stores, they offer more competitive rates but do not give the quality service, knowledge of the field and personal touch.
Peer Learning
Peer learning is an integral part of our home study programme and the course as a whole. Students are organised into groups at their first intensive. We encourage peer groups to maintain contact on a weekly basis to discuss their assignments, readings, research and share learning experiences.
Peer learning offers students support and allows them to formulate their own questions, discuss issues, explain their viewpoints, and engage in cooperative learning.
Our learning management system helps students to engage online and provides an intellectual scafolding on which they build their learning experience throughout the process of the course.
Teachers Assistants
Teachers assistants are available throughout intensives on a one to one basis and during classes. They are also available throughout the year to help with the home study program and any issues that may arise during the course.
In Class Handouts
In class handouts are frequently used to contextualise discussion and course content. This is an important way to bring wider discussion to the core content and help students understand the complex relationships at play in what we teach.
