Description of module content:

During 3 Trimesters, this module allows students to develop specialist computing skills in your workplace, by applying them to workplace projects for your programme of study. You will negotiate, with your line manager and a mentor, a learning agreement which will identify 4-6 specific objectives in no more than 500 words. The objectives you identify, once agreed, will form the basis of a significant piece of work which will be based on a live workplace issue. This module is designed to develop critical reflective practice, specialist computing skills, and act as a focus for your continuous professional development. Advanced reflective practice – using different models and frameworks to maximise both personal and team performance with career development through mentoring and subject specific skills development. The module assessment consists of Learning Agreement, Report (5000 words) and Logbook (5000 words).You will be assessed on your progress on these learning objectives in your final report and reflective log and so it is important that they are challenging, demonstrate your professional practice and are achievable within three trimesters.
