WHY IS THE MODULE DIFFERENT

This is an online learning experience
You will conduct learning activities in moodle over two weeks
You can access materials at your own time and pace
You can select TWO assessed tasks to complete
We will then have a seminar to discuss your learning

This module uses some new learning techniques and is conducted largely online.

Seminars are used as a way to debrief and depend learning so you need to have completed tasks before hand to get value from them.
