Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach:
This module will consist of various methods of delivery. Face-to-face contact will be via a series of lectures, tutorials and/or workshops to develop a basis of theoretical studies and readings (LO1, LO2, LO3, and LO4). A series of case studies and scenarios will support your ability to apply theory to real world practice. You will be assessed through a report and a presentation. The module will also support you in your learning and assessment by way of face to face contact and through an on-line presence, by way of discussion forum.

Formative Assessment:
Formative assessment will be applied throughout the delivery of the module through face to face and/or online activities. For example, there will be online Q&A opportunities through multiple choice tests and related activities on moodle, and also through discussion forum Q&A opportunities, also on moodle. Formative feedback will also be available through tutorials, where for example, you may be asked to analyse some data sets and discuss the implications with the students and staff.


Summative Assessment:
Summative assessment will be applied to this module through a 2000 word report [week 8] and a 15 minute presentation [week 13]. The Summative assessment will engage you in appropriate research and other activities to develop your understanding of expertise development in a relevant area.

In the second half of the module, you will be looking more specifically at how we can develop talent effectively by looking at the role of psychology, features of effective talent development environments, the role of the coach and significant others.
