Module Learning Strategies
Tutor lead learning support by recommended texts and articles. Student-centred learning will include case studies supported by background reading. Small group activity through which to practise application and develop wider discussion of issues and draw on student experience. Independent consolidation of understanding. Students will be expected to obtain supplementary information from a range of paper and electronic sources and key readings will be provided. Students will be given guidance on exam preparation and practice under examination conditions.
This module may be offered in block delivery, with concentrated learning sessions facilitated by an appropriate tutor. The use of action learning sets will be a major tool in enhancing the experience. Outside of this, time material will be available on the VLE (Blackboard) to support these contact sessions and to encourage deeper learning. Where appropriate, workplace mentors will support and encourage their learners with access to relevant company information and people.
