How To Use The Writing Lab

There is unlimited access to asynchronous services such as:

Personalised Skills Building
Test Prep
Create your own flash-cards... and more.

175 minutes of free access to live, synchronous services per year is available to each student; approximately 11 x 15-minute interactions. 

Live services include the Writing Lab, Submit a Question, and Live Help (Instant Tutoring). The use of these services will be deducted from your allocated minutes (175 mins p.a.). The use of Brainfuse live services relies on careful decision making as to when to use the service. Every Writing Lab submission automatically deducts 35 minutes from your 175-minute allocation per year.

Tip: Why not use less minutes through interacting with a live tutor and get some advice on a small piece of writing or skill and then apply it to your paper or assessment?

Live Help, with a Brainfuse tutor is deducted by the minute only. For example, if you seek assistance from a live tutor for 11 minutes then that is all that is deducted from your 175 minutes.

Additional minutes are subject to request and approval via this form.

Check out this flyer to see the services you can access. Refer to the Brainfuse User Guide.
