Flinders Learning Online - FLO support Most topics supply learning materials online via Flinders Learning Online (FLO). It’s where you access assignment guidelines, submit your assignments, chat to each other on topic discussion boards, complete quizzes, view lecture recordings, receive communication from your topic coordinators and more. The use of FLO varies from topic to topic. Your topic coordinator should make this clear to you. You can log in to FLO here or access via Okta. If you need help using FLO, we suggest you take a look at the FLO help pages. If you can’t find what you need here, you can call the FLO Helpdesk on 1300 354 633 (select option 3) during business hours, or email flo.student@flinders.edu.au for staff assistance. |

Over the next few weeks we are going to be bringing you lots of support through the Like a Boss videos, to help you as you adapt and adjust.

Also there’s a yoga one if you’re into that (there’s a dog in it). Read more. |
