Teaching and Learning Strategies |
|
The module is based on three Executive Projects weeks, which will take place at three specified points throughout the year, outside the regular module schedule such that students from different cohorts can take part, network and interact. The dates of each project week will be confirmed at the start of the programme. Each week will begin with an introduction to the topic and the challenge from an industry guest speaker or subject matter expert and the module instructor. During the week, students will work in small groups on their project task. This will be supported by online learning activities and discussion boards. Students will also undertake directed and independent reading and research to complete their project task. Unscheduled Directed Student Hours: 25 hours Students will also participate in synchronous seminars during each Executive Project week. The dates and times of the synchronous seminars will be confirmed at the start of the module (if there are issues with time zones another session will be provided). The first two-hour synchronous session will present students with a challenge that they will work on in small groups. Throughout the week, further synchronous seminars (6 hours in total) will focus on peer interaction, discussion and questions, with the module instructor participating as a coach and mentor as the students develop their project work. The final 2-hour synchronous session will provide an opportunity for presentation of student work and feedback. Scheduled Directed student hours: 30 hours Self-directed learning hours: 45 hours |
