Teaching and Learning Strategies |
|
The module will primarily be delivered through eight weekly e-lectures, delivered through a variety of methods, covering key concepts, theories and case studies. These will be supported by individual online tasks, such as 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 Description: The e-Lectures will equate to 1.25 hours/week over 8 weeks undertaken asynchronously. 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 st
udent hours: 8 hours Additionally, students will participate in virtual action learning sets, where students will form small action learning groups and collaboratively choose and work together to solve current managerial issues affecting group members. This will be facilitated by the module instructor. Unscheduled student hours: 6 hours Attendance Recorded: Yes, tracked via the learning platform. Self-directed learning hours: 126 hours |
