How it works

All current students at Monash can access the modules.

1. Choose a topic and get started. Whether it's a subject you know nothing about and want to improve, or a skill set an employer has identified in a job ad, there are plenty of choices – and they're all free.
2. Work your way through it, at your own pace. Watch videos and complete quizzes in Moodle to progress to the next section. Make sure you read the Welcome and Module instructions before you start.
3. Submit your answers to complete the module. Once you've submitted your answers, your responses will be reviewed. If you've completed all questions to a satisfactory standard, you'll receive an email confirming that you've completed the module.
4. Apply your new skills to your studies, work, volunteering and extracurricular activities. Log into Student Futures to record and reflect on what you've learnt. Many modules offer downloadable resources to use in the real world, and you can use these to help explain your skills to future employers.

What students say

"Being able to work through the unit in a self-directed way meant there was enough time to process the information, and engage well with the content." – Elizabeth, Bachelor of Arts/Visual Arts, first year "LiLO is a great way to grow my skill base, and adopt the mindset that employers are looking for in graduate students. I could complete the modules at my own convenience, and reflect on the concepts I had learnt with the end-of-module activities." – Shoaib, Bachelor of Engineering (Honours), final year "LiLO modules have given me faith in my ability to empower myself with confidence." – Kanisha, Bachelor of Nutrition Science, penultimate year "LiLO is an excellent program for those who desire self-improvement, and aspire to be confident leaders." – Sean, Bachelor of Engineering (Honours), first year "The examples were completely relatable and were about experiences that could happen to anyone and everyone.
