Additional Learning Experience Information

This unit will be delivered using technology enhanced learning (TEL), a learner-centred approach. On-campus students attend a weekly two hour seminar. Students are required to complete set readings outside of class contact time and come prepared for class. These preparatory activities introduce students to initial, relatable conceptions of the topics, which are reinforced through class. On campus activities will focus on small group work, designed to further develop problem solving, critical thinking, communication and teamwork. Online students are required to regularly participate within the unit via Blackboard, and are provided with additional support materials to facilitate learning within an online environment. Students are required to complete set readings and participate in interactive online activities to discuss, develop and apply the concepts covered in the recorded lectures. Online activities are designed to further develop problem solving, critical thinking, communication and teamwork. Assessment methods for on-campus and online modes provide students with the opportunity to develop and demonstrate their achievement of the unit learning outcomes.
