Face-To-Face
Term used to describe the traditional classroom environment where the students and the lecturer meet synchronously in the same room for the whole provision.
Blended
A mode of delivery of a module or a programme that involves online and face-to-face delivery of learning, teaching and assessment activities, student support and feedback. A programme may be considered “blended” if it includes a combination of face-to-face, online and blended modules. If an online programme has any compulsory face-to-face and campus elements it must be described as blended with clearly articulated delivery information to manage student expectations
Fully Online
Instruction that is solely delivered by web-based or internet-based technologies. This term is used to describe the previously used terms distance learning and e learning.
HybridC
Online with mandatory face-to-face learning on Campus
HybridO
Online with optional face-to-face learning on Campus
Work-based Learning
Learning activities where the main location for the learning experience is in the workplace.

Learning and teaching in this module will be focussed on the lectures and studio-based workshops. These will allow the students to discuss and reflect on the current professional practices and how they can be applied to working in studio production and multi-camera teams in class projects.
The module supports the acquisition and development of graduate attributes and employability, lifelong learning and citizenship competencies by:
1) Surfacing assessment-employability linkages to ensure the hard and soft skills and competencies learners are developing are made explicit and allowing learners to evidence the development of these skills and competencies;
2) Providing learners with the opportunity to work within a large team of peers in order to develop leadership and negotiation skills and support the development of diversity awareness and interpersonal sensitivity;
3) Supporting learners in the development of self-reflection and evaluation skills and competencies through the explicit focus on personal development planning and the production of reflective work. |
