Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
Learning & teaching methods including their alignment to Los Formal lectures and class tutorials are used to deliver content and offer face to face support (LO1- LO5). We invite guest lecturers from industry, government, and academia who offer students an overview of the most recent advancements in the field of transport modelling and their application in practice. Directed study tasks encourage integration of key reading material. Moodle is utilised for students to access all course materials and any additional material such as tutorial solutions. We encourage students to share questions and discoveries through Moodle forums. In particular, we use forums to answer revision questions. The module relies on a blended learning approach, to support directed study. We use Moodle intensively to manage the course, to disseminate updated material (class slides, notes, material for exercises, essential and further readings) and foster collaborative learning with the participation of distance learners. We use WebEx to extend the possibility to attend on-line some of the class activities, in particular seminars of guest lecturers. Conditional on the consensus of the guest lecturers and on the technical feasibility, we record the seminars and put the videos in Moodle. Directed study tasks encourage integration of key reading material. Simplified examples of transport problems and transport schemes are used as illustrations to give experience of the transport modelling processes and the use of different modelling approaches (LO1, LO3-LO5). Module content is developed in consultation with employers. Communication and report-writing skills are developed through the assessment component.. Staff undertake scholarly and research activities on demand and network modelling and the experience is embedded in the course. All materials are available on a Virtual Learning Environment to cater for the diverse student group.
|
The module is assessed by a coursework (LO2) and a final examination (LO1 – LO5).
|
Formative feedback on progress is provided in the tutorials.
