A variety of learning and teaching methods will be used including: lectures, seminars, group work, presentations and self-directed learning. Key learning and teaching resources will be put on Moodle. In the independent study time you will be encouraged to read widely and in depth around particular topics.
This module's contact hours will be delivered using a number of different approaches. As an example, you may have a combination of in-person sessions (i.e face to face on campus), and/or online synchronous sessions (participants are engaged at the same time online) and online asynchronous guided activities (you need to plan time to engage with thes so you are prepared for the in person and synchronous sessions. These may include viewing recorded lectures and/or other online resources, reading materials, undertaking quizzes, completing exercises and chatting on forums.) In addition to these teaching delivery approaches, you will undertake your own independent study, which may involve wider reading, independent research skills practice and preparation for assessments. Please see this module's Moodle page and/or handbook for further information.
