Module Indicative Content
There are many factors that influence the ways in which we structure our educational activities thereby influencing the ways in which learners will learn. Some of these factors we may feel that we have some control over, whilst others are subject to outside influences over which we may feel we have little control such as the physical environment and resources.
This module emphasises the importance of creating a conducive learning environment, a physical and psychological ethos or climate for learning, in order for learners to achieve optimum learning in the workplace.
It will examine the learners relationships with:
Self and the emotional and personal development aspects of an individual's learning with particular reference to the impact of the demanding nature of healthcare on the emotions of workers
Other learners and the elements that foster shared supportive learning between peers in a multi-professional setting including virtual learning environments
The teacher and the attitudinal qualities that influence this relationship and facilitate self-directed learning
The organisation and how a positive learning culture and atmosphere can be created within the workplace

Module Learning Strategies
Scheduled Learnming and Teaching Activities: (4 hours)

A variety of teaching methods will be utilised to include lead lectures, delivered through podcasts, and self directed PowerPoint presentations as well as more interactive activities such as identification of your learning style, formative quizzes, article critique, and online discussion forums.
The practical experience of teaching in the healthcare setting that you bring will be the basis for reflection and discussion in the online discussion forums; you will be encouraged to reflect on your teaching strategies and student feedback.
