| Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
From the outset, the focus has been to ensure that students gain a deep understanding and familiarity with the areas of leadership, innovation and technology with the specific aim of fostering effective professional practice in these critical areas. This is supported by: - clear and relevant module aims and learning outcomes; - carefully designed and clearly communicated assessment strategies; - the development of module contents which directly relate to the specialist professional interests of the students in the fields of tourism, hospitality and events; - module design that both encourages and supports the students’ capacity to look at, and to ultimately understand, the bigger picture associated with the topics and their roles in organisational competitiveness; - ensuring that the availability and quality of teaching and learning materials are conducive to supporting individual learning and peer group interactions, whether students are studying on or off campus. LO1 and LO4 will be achieved through an in class assessment and will be concerned with the identification and review of conceptual frameworks, theories and models within LIT and their application to tourism, hospitality and events contexts. LO2; LO3; and LO4 will be achieved through an integrative assignment in the form of a portfolio focused upon innovation and technology within the context of hospitality, tourism, and events, as appropriate. A participative approach to teaching and learning will be adopted in the tutorials. These sessions will make use of lecture input, case studies, small and large group discussions, class exercises and presentations. Learning will be supported throughout by module materials, a recommended text(s), directed reading of articles, books and on-line publications via Moodle. Students are given weekly directed reading and will be expected to prepare for classes in advance by reading a selection of cases and articles. Embedding of employability/PDP/scholarship skills The assessment strategy for the module is explicitly designed to support and enhance the development of the students’ organisation skills, powers of critical analysis; their reflectivity and other core employability skills. Assessment (formative and summative): Assessments are designed to promote student motivation through encouraging the direct application of knowledge and abilities associated with individual student’s specific area of interest, be it tourism, hospitality or events. The emphasis is upon ensuring that students gain sufficient understanding of leadership, innovation and technology so that their level of knowledge is conducive to supporting effective practical application in their roles as professionals within the tourism, hospitality and events industries. Assessment (summative) Two components form the basis of the LITTHE module’s assessment. Component /assessment one covers LO1 and LO4: and take the form of an in class assessment, designed to evaluate students understanding and application of key theories and frameworks related to the subject areas as well as their importance within THE industries (LO1 & 4). This is given 25% of the weighting for the module. Component/assessment two covers LO2; LO3; and LO4 and employs formative and summative assessment strategies: Adopting a portfolio format, comprising of a group presentation (formative) and a 3000 word individual report (summative) this assignment is given a weighting of 75% and is intended to act as a vehicle for students to integrate their understanding and knowledge of innovation, technology and leadership and its application within the specialist contexts of tourism, hospitality and events. Research / teaching linkages: The module focuses upon highlighting the relevant key research in the area of both leadership and innovation with a view to providing students a cutting edge perspective on both topics. Supporting equality and diversity: Moodle versions of all lecture notes are available 24 hours before each class and all lecture content will be recorded and made available. Assessments include appropriate adjustments/accommodations where identified by student learning plans. To promote and encourage diversity and internationalisation a wide range of international case studies and examples are utilised within the module. Internationalisation: All topics covered include specific focuses upon the relevant international contexts/cultural dimensions which affect them.

The use of formative feedback is seen as a key component of the LTA approach underpinning this module. Formative feedback opportunities have been built into seminar sessions and where students will engage with, and reflect on, module themes via interactive seminar activities. 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 in groups. As part of the formative feedback provided in class, students will undertake a short, in class, group presentation (linked to their chosen THE industry example for assessment 2). Peer to peer, and lecturer feedback will be given in class for students to feed into their individual portfolios (assessment 2). Students will look to critique the role of innovation and technology within their chosen example (LO2) and identify any gaps in their current business offering. The work undertaken in this session will feed into assessment 2.

In class assessment 25% Assessment 1 takes the form of an in class assessment, designed to evaluate students understanding and application of key theories and frameworks related to the subject areas as well as their importance within THE industries (LO1 & 4). Report 3000 words 75% Assessment 2 comprises of a 3000 word portfolio which links to the THE Industry example addressed in the formative assessment. Within the portfolio students will propose a new innovation for the THE Industry example and will critically appraise and apply this innovation to the product development process (LO3). Students will then look to critically assess the innovations role, impact and importance for the THE industries (LO2 & 4), and appraise the role leadership & technology would play in the innovation roll out process.
