Module Learning Strategies
Participants will attend 18 hours of face-to-face sessions, delivered either via 3 x 6 hour sessions or 9x2 hour sessions, to include an assignment workshop. Participants will be encouraged to contribute to online discussion threads to support critical debate of current theory. The sessions will include a variety of learning and teaching strategies. Participants will be expected to consolidate and build upon their learning through significant use of texts, journals and professional publications.
A range of activities will be differentiated by level to ensure academic challenge. Tutors will monitor performance within tasks to ensure that task objectives are met and outcomes are consistent with the level of study.
In addition there will be a requirement to engage in independent study in order to develop knowledge and understanding from the taught sessions. Independent learning should include the analysis of learning and the relevance to own role, contributions to discussions boards to appraise key concepts in leadership and management and analysis of relevant literature.
