Introduction to Online Communication and Technology

Find out how to use the online learning environment. Learn how to confidently participate in online conversations with your tutors and other students on the course. Understand how people interact in an online community to support each other's learning.

Investigating the Work Setting

This module will introduce you to workplace learning and deepen your understanding of your role in the workplace by looking at it from a range of perspectives. Studies will act as a foundation for the research work you will undertake during the degree.

Reflection in the Work Setting 1

Discover Reflective Practice by exploring your role in the work place. You will reflect in depth on critical incidents; everyday events that provide significant opportunities for learning. You will apply models of reflection to help you systematically learn from your experiences by considering what, when, and why you do things.

Understanding Action Inquiry

Action Inquiry is a process related to Action Research by which you can better understand your workplace by observing, developing and carrying out an action plan to effect change and improvement. This module will help you understand what Action Inquiry involves, why it is valuable and where and when it is best used.

Learning in the Work Setting

Develop an understanding of learning in the context of the organisation as a learning body moving forward in an ever-changing world. You will consider the way your Personal Development Plan and personal learning integrates/links with the learning of your workplace organisation.

Action Inquiry

Bring together developing research skills and an increasing understanding of theory in an action inquiry project. This module provides an opportunity to select and negotiate a work-based project. In choosing a topic, you may wish to further develop existing research from the previous modules, or explore a fresh focus.

Reflection in the Work Setting 2

Develop your ability to identify and learn from critical incidents in your workplace. You will focus on the concept of 'Double Loop learning' and use models of reflection to make sense of your behaviour by examining the influences that govern your actions and challenging them where appropriate.

Technology in the Work Setting

Examine an element of technology currently in place within your work setting. After careful analysis of this technology element, create an alternative prototype model. You will systematically examine, research, analyse, build and test your technology model and then finally report back with conclusions on the success (or failure) of what you set out to achieve.

Review and Planning

Plan the work for your Level 3 studies. This will involve reviewing changes in the work role and what has been learned from the degree course to date.

Technology for Dissemination

Prepare for sharing your major project findings with colleagues; you will plan a dissemination strategy including identifying what you intend to share, how you will share it and how you will gather critical feedback from a specified audience.

Work-Based Major Project

Undertake an extended work based major project, disseminate the findings to colleagues and collect feedback. During this module, you will consider the implications of the major project methodology you will be using, including ethical considerations.

Impact Review and Career Progression

Consider the impact of your major project then develop and present an impact study, critically reviewing feedback from the audience. You will add to your professional development plans by mapping out a systematic approach to developing your learning and to planning your future career.
