Digital skills will be developed through utilisation of online resources for research of the assessments and innovative skills utilised within the PowerPoint presentation. Digital skills will also be utilised to create the ‘Padlet’ for the portfolio.

Learning and Teaching Information:

A variety of teaching and learning strategies will be employed throughout the module in order to ensure the acquisition and development of appropriate concepts, knowledge and skills and achievement of the stated learning outcomes. A variety of teaching and learning methods provide access to learning to meet a wide range of learner needs and are aimed at widening participation amongst learners to avoid exclusion and develop learner skills in academic studies and personal life situations.

This module will be taught over two days in a block structure at the start of the module and methods utilised within the 2 days will include: lecture style knowledge content and seminar style activities to discuss the content and enabling the learner to place it into context. This module will also have three virtual tutorial café (VTCs) sessions, these group sessions allow for reflective time following the delivery and will be utilised to support the learner in unpacking the content and the assessment requirements. VTC sessions will also be utilised as formative peer feedback sessions.

Independent study time should be spent on specific pre learning (on-demand learning – available to all students on Moodle), for example, engaging in specific background reading of the topic and online exercises. Post learning activities will be provided by the module tutor, but these will be assessment focused enabling the learner to achieve the assessment requirements. This apprenticeship is non-integrated, so an End Point Assessment Organisation (EPAO) is connected with the apprenticeship and the learners have a student membership which provides additional online resources to support achievement of the KSBs, these resources link with the subject areas across L4-L6. Learners are expected to engage with 1 hour a week on these activities to support them in their module and apprenticeship.

All activities and materials provided on Moodle will support the module content for the module delivery including pre, live and post activities and any additional EPAO resources. The sequencing of the sessions will provide re-enforcement of the theoretical concepts developed during the delivery in a progressive pattern, aimed at developing knowledge and overall understanding.
