Learning and teaching methods

For the 2022/23 curriculum, our CPD modules will be delivered using hybrid learning. This means that depending on the subject and content of learning and teaching, modules will mainly be delivered via a combination of face to face and online delivery, as this has worked really well for our practice-based colleagues. A couple of modules will be delivered solely online, however for most modules face to face contact time and attendance at the university will be required.

Learning and teaching methods include:

  • Teacher-led sessions
  • Case studies
  • Discussion groups
  • Seminars
  • Experiential workshops
  • Small group work and large group discussions
  • Role modelling
  • Active learning methods, such as problem-based learning, enquiry-based learning and action learning
  • Blended learning
  • E-learning.

Emphasis will be placed upon work-based/practice based learning and teaching, with opportunities for you to explore and share your views and experiences with regard to the facilitation of learning and evidence-based practice within your working environment.

Assessment

This module will be assessed through the completion of an academic essay.
