CSU Interact

CSU Interact is the name of the online learning platform used at CSU. All subjects will have an Interact site. Different cohorts in the same subjects (e.g. offshore and onshore) are usually merged, so that all students in a subject, in a particular session, view and participate in the same site. Within the site, students can access the Subject Outline, announcements posted by the Subject Coordinator or markers, and the subject forum, where interactive discussion on the various topics takes place.
Sessional staff may need, or may wish to have, access to their subject/s Interact site. Please contact your Subject Coordinator if this is the case, and they can arrange for this to happen.
Support in using Interact effectively is available from the links below:
