| Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
Delivery of this module will be by a series of lectures, related seminars and flexible learning materials. The lectures and seminars will be used to develop the student’s skills in analysing and appraising the delivered materials. Students will be encouraged to develop a critical understanding of materials. Case Studies will be utilised to develop analytic thinking (LOs 2, 3, 4 & 5). Discussions drawing upon a series of readings will develop skills of analysis and synthesis. (LOs 2, 3, 4 & 5). Continuous assessment will encourage independent learning through data collection, analysis, synthesis, as well as skills in developing sound arguments. Supervised assessment will provide scope for demonstration of knowledge and understanding (LOs 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5).
|
Each week students work in groups to complete tutorial exercises relating to LOs 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. This work is discussed in seminars where formative feedback is provided; any reports, diagrams or comments produced are uploaded to the VLE where they are shared with the whole class.
|
The two assessment instruments are “contiguous” in the sense that the second coursework will develop themes and concepts that are identified and discussed in the first and which underpins the learning that takes places in the second. Feedback will be offered after the submission of the first assessment and the second assessment will provide students with the opportunity to apply a range of tools and techniques addressed within the module. The first assessment element relates to LOs 1,2 & 3 and will involve the analysis of a case study of the strategic management aspects of an organisation and a consideration of the evaluation and organisational elements of IS/IT strategy formulation. This assessment will provide students with the opportunity to apply a range of tools & technique to a particular scenario. The second assessment element relates to LOs 3, 4 & 5 and will involve the student in selecting a topic in mid-trimester and submitting a paper in the style of a fully referenced academic journal article around weeks 14/15. These assessments will also allow the students to develop scholarship skills in the identification, assimilation and use of relevant sources. The ability to analysis, synthesise & present concepts in a succinct report is a key employment skill.
