1. Using taught approaches and investigation through provided sources determine a clear analysis of personal training needs
2. Complete a specification of personal training requirements in relation to identified development needs
3. Design personal training requirements through the identification of practical achievement methods, and specify a mechanism for evaluation
4. Reflect on the completed learning process from design through to evaluation

Reflective report – A reflective report that covers: research into teaching and learning theories, development of teaching and learning activities, evaluation of the teaching/training carried out, reflection on teaching and learning strategies employed, and a reflection on the delivery and outcomes of teaching/training (Learning Outcome 1 to 4).

Training Event Artefact – This will be a personal artefact and can be for example a video, practical element, or presentation format (Learning Outcome 1 to 3).

This module will cover topics of:

- Design and evaluation of training / teaching for an organisation on a technical or management issue as appropriate to the specific organisation
- Analysis of teaching and learning requirements to the target students’ group
- Teaching and learning theory research
- Defining learning outcomes
- Development of appropriate teaching and learning activities
- Methods of feedback for both students and peers
- Evaluation of teaching / training carried out
- Self-evaluation processes
- Reflection on delivery, teaching and learning strategies used and the learning outcomes achieved

This module will develop the design and evaluation of training or teaching within the organisation on a technical or management issue as appropriate to the specific organisation. Students will analyse the teaching and learning requirements of their target students’ group and together with the teaching and learning theory researched, they will define learning outcomes and develop appropriate teaching and learning activities, as well as carry these out.

Students will use the VLE and will work through the module material provided on the VLE at a pace suggested within the module. The material will include activities and review questions that allow students to assimilate the concepts and skills required by the module.

The tutor will provide a weekly opportunity to discuss the module and answer any questions. Students are encouraged to discuss relevant aspects within discussion forums that are part of the VLE. The forums will allow discussion with the student's peer group as well as the module tutor. This is a Distance Learning module only using the Blackboard VLE and the use of libraries and on-line research.

Students will be expected to engage with independent reading, which should include texts, journals, websites that are pertinent to the learning outcomes and the issues or areas that form the focus of the module. Indicative texts:
