Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach:
This module will be delivered through a blend of online reading and preparation activities and materials using a virtual learning environment (VLE) ‘(Moodle’), seminars, tutorials, practical sessions and group work. The module will be delivered across 12 weeks of learning, with your first week (Week 1) as a reading week.

Online materials accessed through the VLE will significantly contribute to your classroom-based learning and teaching activities and develop your core knowledge of the theoretical aspects of LOs 1-6. Guided online learning will guide you towards further reading and key instructional information, which can then be clarified and debated in the classroom in order to draw out some of the complexities of the core concepts addressed in this module (LOs 1-6).

Online learning materials and lectures will present key information to enable you to develop your knowledge of national and global policy, and theories around psychosocial impacts on health and well-being and occupational engagement (LOs 2, 5 and 6). Practical sessions, group workshops and tutorials will facilitate your evaluation of, critical thinking and decision-making around, and your skills in, the Occupational Therapy assessment of, occupational performance and planning for Occupational Therapy interventions (LOs 4 and 5). Practical sessions will also allow you to evaluate and examine the use of technology and other resources (LO 5). Guided online learning activities will develop your skills and knowledge of the evaluation of psychosocial needs of individuals in relation to their contexts (LO1). Tutorials will facilitate your examination and reflection on your own written, verbal and non-verbal communication (LO1).
