| Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
Learning and teaching methods including their alignment to LOsLectures, seminars and workshops enable you to develop your theoretical knowledge of the publishing industry and give you the opportunity to put that theory into practice. Seminar and workshop sessions will support the lecture series and provide a medium for student centred learning. You will develop theoretical knowledge of publishing and apply this knowledge to the preparation of assignments and continuous coursework.Embedding of employability/PDP/scholarship skillsA thorough understanding of publishing functions and the roles performed by individuals within publishing companies helps prepare you for the workplace and ensures that you gain key employability skills required by the publishing industry. Scholarship skills will be developed through a range of analytical exercises based on "real life" publishing scenarios, through personal, critical exploration of the publishing functions and through assessment.Research/teaching linkagesStaff research interests and industry experience will form the basis of the teaching of this module. A core concern of this module is to improve students’ industry specific practical and analytical skills. Emphasis is placed on research skills, academic literacy, critical skills, and effective presentation of ideas. Summative assessments will be evaluated on the quality of research, argument, referencing, presentation skills and ability to adhere to instructions.Supporting equality and diversityThis module aims to provide information and support related to intercultural activities in the spirit of widening access, and actively seeks to indentify activities of an intercultural nature. This module is supported by a Virtual Learning Environment.Internationalisation The global nature of the publishing industry dictates that all publishing modules should be global or international in nature. Learning and teaching activities are designed to respond to international requirements and seek to be academically and professionally inclusive and supportive of international students.

Formative assessment is provided throughout the module within independent and group learning opportunities. Class exercises will help you to hone specific publishing skills, with a particular emphasis on editorial and design, allowing you to gain feedback from teaching staff.
