Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
Learning & teaching methods including their alignment to LOs A combination of lectures and tutorial presentations cover LOs 1-5. A mix of short case studies, videos and problem solving media are used to support learning for these learning outcomes. The group presentation covers LOs 3 and 4 while the individual report, which addresses LOs 3-5, allows each student to propose their own recommendations. Embedding of employability/PDP/scholarship skills Guest speakers offer the opportunity for networking. Group work skills, written and oral presentation skills are enhanced as part of the formative and summative assessment. Critical appraisal and reflection are encouraged during the tutorial sessions.Assessment (formative and summative) Two components of formative assessment (group presentation and individual report). The first component of the formative assessment is the group presentation. The feedback the students will receive feeds forward to the second formative component (individual report). The students can use the feedback they receive to inform the writing of their individual report. An end of module exam is the module’s summative assessment.Research/ teaching linkages The teaching team conducts research in the area of sustainable tourism management.The students have to undertake research and select a specific destination to conduct a tourism impact assessment. Students will need to access and evaluate secondary information such as books and journal articles and tourism intelligence. Supporting equality and diversity All teaching materials will be available on Web CT Vista and will follow the Napier University guidelines for preparing materials. A range of different teaching methods and media are used in classroom to support different learning styles. Internationalisation (MAX 1500 CHARACTERS).Sustainability is a core concept for this module and a range of examples are used during lectures to illustrate the types of impact as they are experienced by different destinations. Distinctions are made between developed and developing countries, urban and rural locations through the use of case studies. The students will be encouraged to use international examples for their group presentations and individual reports.

The provision of formative feedback is a key component of the LTA approach underpinning this module. Formative feedback opportunities are built into each tutorial where you will be encouraged to engage with and reflect upon module themes via a series of different learning tasks. These provide opportunities for the module tutor to help with your understanding and interpretation of module topics. This formative feedback is delivered in class time in response to student contributions both individually and collectively. Formative feedback arises via the discussion and analysis of tutorial questions, practical examples/cases and associated reflection on a range of learning tasks.
