Teaching and Learning Strategies |
|
Teaching Patterns Learning and teaching on this module will be structured in accordance with the principles of Hybrid Active Learning with asynchronous materials and synchronous seminar sessions. Asynchronous recordings provide material previously addressed in physical lectures, suitably broken down (‘chunking’) and augmented (e.g. quizzes etc) so as to enhance student engagement. Synchronous sessions will run on a fortnightly pattern across the semester (i.e. 6 in total) and will each have a duration of 2 hours. Contact Hours Synchronous content: 6 x 2 hour seminars Asynchronous content: 22 hours ‘chunked’ lectures + supplementary asynchronous content See ‘Module Delivery’ for details Module Delivery Asynchronous content Lectures replaced by online content: blocks of ‘chunked’ lectures delivering core content; uploaded 1 block in advance; each block managed by academic lead with responsibility to design and upload content. x4 subject blocks - Introduction to administrative justice Supplementary asynchronous materials: - MCQs for completion at end of each subject block Synchronous content 6 x 2 hour seminars - Introduction to administrative justice One seminar will be ‘problem-based’ (and summatively credit-bearing) under the following approach: - Students given a ‘case file’ of fictious materials (letters; reports etc) related to specific teaching block and directed to work collaboratively (e.g. using Office 365) with colleagues within their seminar groups to prepare specific documents (e.g. briefing papers or draft judgments) - Draft documents circulated to staff in advance of seminar(s). The 2- hour seminar slots are used to present findings; diagnose and correct points of misunderstanding and feedback on performance. |
