Teaching and Learning Strategies |
|
The module will be delivered over an 8-week period through weekly e-lectures. Module content will be delivered through a range of different interactive methods including videos, podcasts and written materials. The e-lectures will be supplemented by a combination of individual and group online learning activities including case studies, reflection, quizzes, problem solving, viewing multimedia content and posting on discussion boards. These activities will be moderated by the module instructor. Students will critically reflect on their own professional experience of learning, training and development in a workplace context and will be encouraged to link this to existing theory and broader issues pertaining to skill and knowledge development. Students will be expected to engage in wider reading to further develop their engagement with the topic, and relevant sources will be suggested. 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 |
