Module Learning Strategies
The physiology modules across the awards have been designed to compliment and build on each other. In this level one module teaching will be a team approach drawing on teachers from the branches of nursing and other professionals. You will be provided with a directed multimedia CD Rom package. The aim of the physiology sessions will be to establish themes that will help you to focus your attention and place the information in the context of nursing practice and clinical skills.
This module is taught and supported by Blackboard:; an online virtual learning environment. Tutorials will be offered by your Module Leader/Tutor in addition to the lectures if required.
