Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach:
The LTA approach for this module is blended - with two episodes of face-to-face teaching, one front loaded at the start of the trimester and the second mid-trimester. The modules’ face-to-face teaching will be focussed around small group-work and facilitated whole class discussions supported by trigger short lectures that form the basis for theoretical perspectives explored and the use of case examples to contextualise the theory (LO1&2). You will also engage with learning tasks that promote self-awareness (LO3) about your ability and skill to promote innovative practice within your peer group and the wider inter-professional team (LO4).
This will be followed by six online lectures and supported by three Units of Learning presented in the Moodle platform. Students will be supported to develop their project proposals through the face-to-face teaching and by the end of completion of Unit One. Through the progression of Unit Two and Three, students will be asked to complete on line activities and produce a project proposal and project plan, for implementation of a selected change activity.


Formative Assessment:
The formative assessment will be on completion of Unit One. Students will be asked to submit a Project Proposal Plan on a predetermined template that indicates the change activity with supporting evidence based rationale for the proposal (750 words). This will be reviewed by the Group Facilitator and suggestions will be fed forward to form part of the summative project proposal.

Summative Assessment:
The summative assignment will be the completion of a written Project Proposal. You will construct a project proposal relating to leadership and innovation and plan for the implementation and evaluation of a change activity that demonstrates your understanding of leadership and change strategies.
