Teaching, Learning and Assessment

This programme has been conceived around a number of key teaching and learning principles. The first is that the programme recognises that learning and teaching has been transformed by knowledge, information and digital revolution that has placed a flow of information and communication into all aspects of our daily lives. This embedding of digital tools in all activities means that the role of the teacher has been changed. The teacher as provider of information has been replaced by a role as curator and co-researcher working alongside students. This programme will work with this new context by the establishment of a VLE pilot and high levels of online resources as well as the provision of small group working areas so that self-directed and collaborative learning can take place. The structure of the curriculum allows for self-directed learning alongside project based professional simulations or actual professional placements. The assessment has been designed holistically so students are required to make connections between different assessments and discover synergies and relationships between parts of the curriculum through collaborative projects.

Opportunities for work related learning

The learning environment for this programme is entirely work related. Skill development is benchmarked consciously against industry needs and students are asked to reflect and comment on this in assessment. Two designated periods of project based learning are either professional or industry simulations or actual work placements where these can be secured.
