Teaching and Learning Strategies
Effective teaching and learning strategies will evolve as the module is delivered However, it is expected that lectures (live, virtual, and/or recorded), videos, guest speakers, group work, problem-based learning, enquiry based learning, reading, research, reflection, workshops and peer review will be core to this module.
Module Assessment Strategies
This module will be 100% continuous assessment. In order to use the module and programme for the CIPD accreditation, students must pass all assessments within the module and must reach the pass mark in all modules.
Students will receive formative feedback such as in class discussions, polls and quizzes. Students will also receive summative feedback on assessments so that they can reflect on their progress and make adjustments in later assessments.
Depending on the learner group the assessments will vary and may be any of the following: group project, presentation (recorded/live or virtual), role play, open-book exam or essay, multiple choice quiz, case study, portfolio, reflective diary, podcast, infographic.
Some of the assessments may be shared with other modules to enhance student learning and assessment. If shared assessment is being used it will be clear to the students which elements of the assessment apply to which modules.
Assessments will be scheduled in conjunction with other modules being taught in the semester. This is so that assessments are spaced out to allow students to adequate time to meet all deadlines.
Actual assessments will be reviewed annually based on student and lecturer feedback and adapted as appropriate.
Repeat Assessments
Repeat assessments will be developed to align with failed components. The pass rate for this module is 40%.
