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 team who will provide module-specific online material using a variety of communication techniques. You will be encouraged to develop your learning through peer and tutor interaction through electronic communication. Self-study supported by online discussion forums hosted through Moodle will develop skills as independent learners.
The material for the lab 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 where module staff will be available to contact you

Formative Assessment:
There will be a series of end-of-session online quizzes that will provide formative assessment throughout the module. 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 will support your personal and professional development.

Summative Assessment:
Summative assessment consists of an assignment in week 6 (Worth 10% of your overall mark) and an assessment in week 13 (worth 90% of your overall mark). Detailed feedback will be given on each summative assessment
