Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
You will be supported by the Global Online team who will provide general overall support, and by the module teams who will provide module-specific online material and discussion forums using a variety of communication technologies such as Moodle and Skype (LO 1-5)You will be encouraged to develop your learning through peer and tutor interaction through electronic communication. Self-study readings, supported by online discussions forum hosted through the VLE, will develop skills as independent learners (LO 1-5).The lecture programme will be enhanced by material from guest speakers (where appropriate) and will be made available online. The material for the lab-based practical sessions will be made available online with a support forum. In addition to this, online students are provided with online support in the form of: • Dedicated online administrators who will keep track of student progress and will help you if you are having any problems. • A dedicated interactive database of frequently asked questions specific to the online learning environment. • A regular ‘virtual office hour’ will be held where module staff will be available for contact with you.
|
There will be a series of end-of-section online quizzes that will provide formative feedback throughout the course. In general, these will be weekly unless a section is broken into multi-part sessions. Formative feedback on practical work will also be provided through the online discussion forum and ‘virtual office hour’. Reflective Exercises will enable you to apply theory to practice – this is not assessed, but it will support your personal and professional development
|
Summative assessment will be in the form of a single component, which will consist of an ongoing software project management task and associated written documentation worth 100% of the final mark (covering LOs 1-5). This component will be broken down into two elements, due week 7 and week 13. The first element will be submitted in week 7 in order to give interim summative feedback (50%: LOs 1-5). The second element will be submitted in week 13 (50%: LOs 1-5), after which final summative assessment will be given.
