- Teaching will be based on a hybrid-flexible approach. Instructor-led face-to-face learning is combined with online learning in a flexible course structure that gives students the option of attending sessions in the classroom, participating online, or doing both.
- All activities require active student participation in their own learning.
- Learning delivery methods and available resources will be selected to ensure constructive alignment with course content, learning outcomes and assessment criteria.
- Students will be taught using a mixture of guidance, self-study, and lecture material. Topics will be introduced in a series of weekly lectures. The guidance sessions will be directed practical exercises and reading in which students can explore topics with support from a teacher. This material will also require students to self-manage their time to ensure tasks are completed and the theory is fully understood. This will allow the students to fully engage with lectures and with their peers.
- Learning resources are available in the LMS and include, but is not limited to:
- literature and online reading material (essential and recommended)
- streams, recordings and other digital resources, where applicable
- video conferencing and communication platforms, if applicable
- tools, software and libraries, where applicable
- Students must have access to an internet connection, and suitable hardware.
- Accessing live streams and virtual laboratories requires a minimum broadband connection of 2Mbps (4Mbps recommended).
- Students working on their own laptop/computer are required to acquire appropriate communications software, e.g., webcam, microphone, headphones.
