| Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
The module will run across all three trimesters (Full time) with writing up in Tri 1 or in year two Tri 3 and Tri 1 of your programme (Part Time). Each trimester will be organised around online units to provide structure that encourages independent learning.During this module, you will meet regularly online with your supervisor and submit drafts of your dissertation to your supervisor, in order to obtain ongoing feedback. You will also have access to supportive resources and recommended reading on Moodle for this module. The Moodle platform will be divided into 5 units that correspond with the 5 learning outcomes. Each of the five module units will use a common structure and format to facilitate easy engagement and use of the virtual learning environment.

Formative assessment is conducted throughout this dissertation module as part of the ongoing feedback between you and your supervisor. As part of your learning contract, you will be invited to submit work, to your dissertation supervisor for feedback and guidance. The discussion boards and Moodle resources provide an opportunity for reflection and stimulated discussion on the application of ideas to practice, as well as to professional development. A peer review process with fellow students will be undertaken as part of the formative assessment. You will present your work to your fellow students – this will provide you with an opportunity to critically engage with people’s work and reflect upon your own. You will also receive supervisor guidance on how to respond to this feedback, including rebuttal where appropriate, thus preparing you for the challenges of peer review in the publication sphere.
