In Our Marae Space is where you will find:

* Your Course Circle

* Live Meet-Ups

* Challenges

* Any other Community News and Updates

You can get access into your Community and/or Course Circle either from your My Ora Online Library or from directly within your Course.

Please watch the video for further information on how to navigate Our Marae Space community.

A Course Circle is for ALL students who have signed up to a particular Ora Online course. For example our newest course Our Journey into Rongoā Māori has it's own Course Circle for all online students of JIRM only. It is in your Circle where you can go for Introductions, Whakawhanaungatanga, Q&A, latest news and updates for your course and topic and meet like-minded people.

Yes there are. See below:
