Module Learning Strategies
Students will follow a twelve week guided study programme and access support material via Blackboard. Students will be required to access additional support material independently. Core required tasks will amount to an average of 8 hours of engagement per week, representing a total of 96 activity engagement hours for the module.
The number of independent study hours is 204, representing a combination of further and additional reading and a series of optional tasks (96 hours) and specific preparation for the module assignments (108 hours).
This module will adopt a collaborative approach to learning where, via a series of on-line discussions (that will form part of the assessment process) students will demonstrate their developing understanding of often different and divergent approaches to the control and coordination of sport related skill.
Central to this approach will be a series of on-line debates or discussion issues that will arise out of the `Activities' and accompanying 'Tasks' undertaken within the module. Students will be required to initially outline, defend and subsequently reflect on a position or viewpoint offered, that will be critically commented on by fellow students.

Module Indicative Content
Issues around partnerships, coalition and engagement with communities and the assessment of community health needs and lay perspectives on disease and the determinants of health will be explored. Various models of community participation will be presented involving participatory approaches to prioritising health care. The principles of social marketing will be presented in relation to the facilitation of healthful behaviours and advocacy for health through communities. Community analysis will be discussed and case studies will be used to illustrate aspects of the design, implementation and sustainability of various community interventions. Current UK policy directives and strategies will be presented with particular emphasis on the impact of these on community development for public health practice.
