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

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).

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.
