Teaching and Learning Strategies
This module will be delivered fulltime. EBL is a facilitated learning approach where students engage in workplaced based scenarios and construct their own learning, identifying gaps in their knowledge and undertaking research to bridge the learning gaps. Facilitators guide students through their learning journey assisting them in the maintenance of a healthy team environment as well as guiding on subject matter. This is carried out in a structured environment where the integrity of the teaching is maintained and a safe learning environment protected at all times. This approach is expected to address student learning needs. Moodle will be used as a repository of educational resources and as a means of assessment.
Module Assessment Strategies
This module is 100% Continuous Assessment.
