Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach:
Learning & teaching methods including their alignment to LO:
This module is taught by lectures and tutorials (LO 1-5). Tutorials will involve group activities, case study exercises and student presentations. Tutorial times will also be used to provide guidance on the assessments.

embedding of employability/PDP/scholarship skills:
Students will develop their time management and planning skills by working through the assessment activities. They will develop their communication skills through discussion activities and group work. They will be expected to carry out their own research to complete the assessments.

assessment (formative and summative):
Students are invited to contribute to discussion board activities which are not assessed. This serves the purpose of familiarising them with the module pages on Moodle, encouraging them to communicate outside of class time, and developing their IT skills. It will also enable them to discuss module topics and encourage peer learning. Formative feedback on the discussion activities will be provided by the tutor.

Component 1 is a portfolio activity. Students will be required to build a portfolio of evidence comparing three different MICE events in relation to a set assessment question. This assessment will cover learning outcomes 1-3, and accounts for 60% of the module mark.

Component 2 is a centrally timetabled exam. This assessment covers learning outcomes 4-5, and accounts for 40% of the module mark.

research/ teaching linkages:
Students are expected to read and comment on research papers as part of their tutorial activities. Reference to current research is embedded in the module materials.

supporting equality and diversity:
All module materials are available on WebCT in advance. Students can request materials in advance. Reasonable adjustments can be made in all elements of assessment to reflect the needs of individual students.

Internationalisation:
The examples used in the lectures and tutorials are international. The module refers to international research and case studies.
