This unit is conducted in both on-campus and off-campus modes. On-campus students attend a weekly one-hour lecture and two-hour seminar. Lectures are used to introduce the central concepts of strategic planning and to guide students through development of these planning concepts for diverse analyses and applications. Seminars allow students to workshop through principles and questionsto enable them to identify and apply the concepts presented in the lectures. A case study will demonstrate the students' capacity for research, analysis and interpretation. The test provides students withfeedback on academic progress and learning outcomes. A major assignment (project) will consolidate learning and interpretation by requiring students to prepare a simple strategic plan for conservation and development of a real location, utilising strategic planning knowledge and skills developed in the unit. On-campus delivery is supported by an online project case study and progress log, as well as information sharing and communication via MyECU/Blackboard. Off-campus students follow the same program supported by comprehensive online notes, case study exercisesand web resources as well as online communication via MyECU/Blackboard.Regular online access is required.
