How you Study
The
programme is supported by a Virtual Learning Environment
(VLE) which incorporates:
- focused
conferencing and work spaces linked to specific activities for each
module
- informal
discussion areas
- online
learner support
- links
to online resources including library support.
When
you register, the University will send you an individual study
pack containing hard copy materials, specially written for
the course by a team of academic experts in the field of educational
management and leadership. You will be given additional hard copy readings,
specially selected to complement and extend the dedicated written material.
The
teaching and learning strategy for the programme stresses the importance
of working with colleagues in the VLE to develop your
understanding of the areas of study. Comparing experience with
colleagues in a range of locations and cultures will allow
you insights into professional practice.
In
your work you will be supported by tutors who will
mediate the online conferences and who will also provide advice and
responses to individual queries. Working within a VLE will provide you
with a unique opportunity of acquiring a range of skills associated
with online learning including group working skills and technical skills.
