Module Learning Strategies
This module is intended for work based learners, and the delivery approach will come from the planned integration of work based skills and academic learning through work based activities.
Where possible the learning will take place in the workplace, using a combination of work activities, supported by private study, and using underpinning academic input provided by the University.
Where agreed, the University will deliver materials via VLE (e.g. Blackboard), Virtual Classroom), telephone conferencing and other appropriate technologies.
There will be no specific requirement for students to attend the University whilst studying the module, but where appropriate, arrangements may be made for face to face meetings, or classroom based delivery.
