Learning and Teaching Model
This is to be provided as a standalone CPD course which includes a single milestone (assessments) point. The completion of this milestone will result in a Certificate of Attendance. Given the intended learning objectives the expectation is you will work through the tasks on your own within the agreed timeframe. There are no tasks which require you to work with colleagues. Although, there are opportunities for you to discuss and learn from each other.The underlying learning design assumptions are:
- Effective learning requires the inclusion of all learning models, with particular importance on social (situated - communities of practice) learning
- Effective online learning requires the student to be active within the process
- Effective online learning is driven through effective individual feedback
