Teaching, Learning and Assessment Methods
A range of online study techniques are used to help you engage with the academic literature and to reflect on your own practical and professional knowledge. If you have a learning difficulty or disability that could impact studying online please speak with us and your tutor so that where possible reasonable adjustments can be made to facilitate your participation.
There are a variety of tutor-led or tutor-supported activities to support students in developing skills, knowledge and understanding of discourses specific to their Pathway alongside skills more generally applicable to masters level study, such as workload management and leadership in online collaboration.
Academic practices - such as academic writing, critical reading and critical argumentation; relating theory and practice; identifying, evaluating and using evidence appropriately - are taught and developed across modules within each Pathway covering specific and appropriate forms of those practices.
A variety of informal and formal assessment tasks are incorporated into the coursework. The coursework is designed to prepare you for independent study within a particular educational discipline. We do encourage the sharing of ideas and experiences with your peers through asynchronous forums and there may be some activities that recommend working with other students as this is an important way in which you can broaden your knowledge and understanding of education across different contexts. However, alternative ways of working can be facilitated.
