SL3024-PRD1-ALV1

This module’s contact hours will be delivered using a number of different approaches, including in-person sessions (i.e. face to face on campus), online synchronous sessions; online asynchronous guided activities (e.g. recorded lectures and/or other online resources, reading materials, quizzes, exercises and forum contributions). In addition to these teaching delivery approaches, you will undertake your own independent study, which may involve wider reading, independent research, skill practice and preparation for assessment.  Please see teaching pattern table below for further details of teaching hours for this module.  
The teaching for all of the topics in this module will take the form of lectures which may be a combination of in-person, online synchronous and/or asynchronous sessions.  You will be given opportunities to complete practical activities which support your application of knowledge in lectures and independently via activities on Moodle.

Lectures 
Lectures are used to communicate core material and as a foundation for further reading. A lecture can help you to feel secure in the foundational knowledge required and point you to significant areas for further study. Lecture notes are provided on the virtual learning environment Moodle. However, you are expected to take your own notes too. Lectures may be on campus (in person) or online. Online lectures may be synchronous (in ‘real time’) or asynchronous (pre-recorded). Interaction in synchronous lectures (online or on campus) is encouraged through for example discussions and responses to questions. Lectures will be delivered by a combination of university staff, external experts and service users who will provide their unique perspectives on the topics covered in the lectures.
Self-directed learning  
Your studies will involve a number of hours of self-directed learning as outlined below. This time will be spent preparing for lectures, reviewing lecture content, completing activities provided in lectures, carrying out wider reading and completing assessments. The Module Leaders and individual lecturers will direct you to relevant materials available on Moodle including module reading lists.  Whilst this time counts towards the total hours allocated to the programme, it will be up to you to decide exactly how you spend this time and which areas of learning you wish to pursue however you may wish to focus on the fundamental aspects of the module, areas that you are finding harder to understand, areas required for assessment, links to your clinical placements or areas of specific personal interest.
