Teaching and Learning Strategies |
|
The module learning strategy is underpinned by the concepts of active, collaborative and co-produced learning. Students will apply key concepts to their own professional contexts and practice and will be encouraged to determine the direction and focus of discussions according to their own experiences and interests, both individually and through group discussions. The module will primarily be delivered through eight weekly e-lectures, delivered through a variety of methods, covering key concepts, theories and case examples. These will be supported by individual online tasks, case studies, blogs, collaborative tasks and discussion boards, which will be used to develop and apply learning. These activities will be moderated by the module instructor. Students will also be directed to key academic and practitioner readings to further develop their learning. Unscheduled Directed Student Hours: 10 hours Students will also participate in eight weekly e-seminars where they will engage in peer discussion of key concepts and application to their own work contexts. Seminars will be conducted via a discussion board with input from the module instructor. Unscheduled student hours: 8 hours Self-directed learning hours: 132 hours |
