| Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
This is an applied module which combines theoretical and practical perspectives on learning and development. Classes are held weekly and involve a wide variety of audio-visual resources and group discussions and activities. Students are expected to be independent learners and make use of web resources and directed reading. The assessment will take the form of a case study - based on training design (LO 1 & 5) and closed-book exam (LO 2,3 & 4). Opportunities for formative and peer assessment on the training design case study will be provided. A skills workshop will be run as part of the module and to fulfil professional CIPD requirements. Students will be requested to submit their training design case study prior to the workshop and will be asked to present a component of the training design at the workshop. The training design component of the module recognises the vocational nature of the module as students will normally be required to demonstrate training skills if they move to a workplace trainer role. The combination of case study and closed-book examination will develop students verbal and written communication skills and provide opportunities to engage with current research.In this regard, the module draws upon multiple sources of information across the world and in particular research from the Academy of Human Resource Development, Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development and University Forum for Human Resource Development. Guest speakers will offer the opportunity to converse with experts on specialist topics and debate current developments in the field. The module draws upon a wide range of international research and examples of leading international organisations are provided to illustrate the concepts explained. The recommended reading directs students to textbooks from the US and Europe as well as standard UK texts. To support equality and diversity, the module uses WebCT vista. Here, students can avail of a wide range of supplem
