| Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
Learning & teaching methods including their alignment to LOs align to learning outcomes - comment on group workA variety of audio visual resources, group discussion and self directed methods (independent learning and study) will be used. These methods are designed to foster and underpin student engagement and academic progression, whilst sensitive to deep, surface and strategic approaches to learning. Studio based design activities will facilitate the use of physical and virtual modelling in problem solving (LO1), detailing and development of form (LO2). Physical and virtual modelling will be used to identify ergonomic needs (LO3) and solicit user feedback (LO4). Visual output will be collated for presentation (LO5)Embedding of employability/ PDP/ scholarship skillsThis module promotes the development of written and verbal communication skills (project proposals/ reflective evaluation), oral communication skills (presentation/ group debate) and problem based learning. Guest speakers and site visits offer opportunities for evaluating the application of skills in industry. Students are supported in planning, recording, and reflecting upon their experiences to develop employability and self awareness while understanding how their transferable skills might be applied in new settings.Assessment (formative and summative)You will undertake three studio design projects (which will require the submission of a folio of sketching and drawing, models and presentation boards). Formative assessment will precede the submission and/or presentation of completed design assignments. You will be asked to report on your directed study task and feedback will be given to develop your confidence and allow practise of oral presentation and critique. You will be asked to present your directed study tasks and summative assessment given of submitted work during critiques and feedback tutorials.Research/ teaching linkagesAll teaching team members undertake scholarly activity
