Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
The student is required to be following the MSc Computing with professional placement to study this module.The teaching takes the form of a supervision and these supervision meetings, or online supervisions if appropriate.The aim of the module is to give students the experience of professional practice. Students will develop a learning agreement in discussion with their line manager, a mentor or research supervisor (LO1, LO2). The tripartite nature of this agreement is important to ensure that it not only meets the requirements of the students and academic assessment but also the employer benefits through improved organisational performance.Students have regular supervision sessions (LO3) either on-campus with their academic supervisor or off-campus at their workplace using appropriate channels; this will be either via telephone, video conferencing or in person, based upon the student’s proximity to the school. Additional support will be provided as needed on an individual basis, this can take the form of visits, additional supervision sessions, or directed study. The module will involve a considerable amount of self-study as students will be required to extend their knowledge through research into current innovative practice (all LOs).
|
Before placement commences, students will be given the opportunity to take part in workshops and practical classes preparing them for the work in relevant professional environment. Feedback will be provided.Formative assessment is provided in the form of feedback by the academic tutor and in progress feedback from a workplace supervisor during the placement (usually the line manager). Formative assessment is in form of an interview, if appropriate in conjunction with the workplace mentor, in order to establish how the student is contributing to the established professional domain (LO1).
|
The student will present their learning agreement (500 words) by week 2 of the module and this will be agreed by a panel made up from members of the module team (LO1,LO2). The learning agreement informs the deliverable which will be submitted after the module is completed. The reflective report will have a maximum word limit of 3,000 words of academic work, including the learning agreement, but could be less depending on the nature of the deliverable (all LOs).
