Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach:
You will be provided with responsive, engaging and interactive online learning materials which will include a general introduction to the topic and how to study the module online, together with core academic
theory relating to the topic. This will be supplemented by four pre-recorded Guest Seminars, facilitated at Edinburgh Napier by the Module Leader. In these seminars, speakers from the public, private and third sectors in the UK will be asked to discuss the leadership in their organizations (past, present and future), in participation with a student audience. Recordings will be made available on Moodle as part of the teaching resources included with the module.
You will also be directed to a variety of electronic sources including e-books, e-journals and other web-based resources, to support your learning. A mix of reflective exercises, case studies and self-assessment questions (with diagnostic feedback) for each unit will help to engage you in the learning process, and the online materials will encourage you to reflect on your own experiences and learning. You will be encouraged to form your own independent groups and to interact via the VLE through discussion forums. To support your learning, you will have access to: • A weekly ‘virtual office
hour’ – module leaders will be available for synchronous contact. • Module specific materials which will comprise of the undernoted: o A module introduction/overview, including learning outcomes, and
summary of key points o Eleven units of learning - an introductory unit, followed by ten subject specific units. o Case Studies and outline solutions o Self-Assessment Questions o Reflective Exercises o End of Unit Progress tests o Links to core module academic materials; book chapters / journal articles / case materials etc. You are encouraged to identify key skills areas and relate these to your own personal and professional development throughout the module.
