Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
The live project module integrates prior academic and prior experiential knowledge with that of personal development attributes and employability skills by undertaking a realistic tourism; festival and event; hospitality or marketing industry based live project.The lectures include project management, professional behaviour and working practices, action research methodology and analysis, teamwork skills and working practices, business report writing and persuasive oral presentations (LO1). Interactive workshops enable the teams to develop and assess their progress in terms of developing professional relationships, problem solving, dealing with conflict, project management, teamwork skills, conducting meetings, business report writing, developing (LOs 1-5). Each team in their ‘consultant’ role is further facilitated by an appropriate subject tutor and business contact (LO3). The workshop programme will include material from the Confident Futures programme and guest speakers will contribute to the lectures. A Moodle discussion space will be set up for each team to help you to communicate, write and edit as a team if you choose. This module fosters deep learning and empowers you to take responsibility for your own learning and enables the student to develop and practice a comprehensive range of employability skills relating to the 'real' world of work including: communication, critical reflection, teamwork skills, self and peer assessment, time management, project organisation and planning, and business report writing (LOs 1-6).
|
You will receive formative feedback through interaction with subject tutors and business contacts during workshops.Peer review will also be implemented where you will be expected to give feedback to your peers on presentations and written work. Together these will enable you to develop the 'four Cs' (communication, collaboration, critical thinking, and curiosity - LO6)
|
Summative assessment for this module consists of three elements; an 8000-word written report (60%, LOs 1-3), an oral presentation (20%, LOs 3-4), and discussion/participation in workshops (20%, LOs 5-6). You will evaluate a realistic industry-based issue or problem, formulating results and recommendations in the written report, and presenting/defending your proposals in an oral presentation.This will enable you to develop and assess your skills in both individual and group contexts, using applied theoretical knowledge to analyse a business situation, and incorporating employability skills and personal attributes as an active learner in order to complete the assessments in a 'real-world' context.
