| Summary of Module |
|---|
This threshold module will introduce students to their Personal Tutor and provide an orientation to UWS. It will be the starting point in the journey where students begin to focus on their Academic, Personal and Professional Development (APPD). Specific focus is also given to ADDP in the Coaching and Practice module which students undertake in term two.
Key 21st century meta skills and attributes, such as, academic, and digital skills, personal development planning and data handling processes will be developed in this module. This approach will give students a range of skills which are necessary for successful progress of their undergraduate studies (e.g. searching for academic literature, writing, referencing, conducting basic descriptive statistics and data presentation). These key skills will be developed whilst introducing students to a range of concepts within sport and exercise which encourage them to recognise the connections between the themes of mind, body and society through an integrated approach (e.g. study of psychology, movement, and social structures). These common themes will be contextualised through the lens of different populations in society (e.g. children, athletes, aging and disability groups) with students having the opportunity to apply theory into practice.
This approach will allow students to understand the fundamentals of sport and exercise from the perspective of their chosen degree pathway and ensure that they develop an appreciation of the role other professionals play in the industry.
This module will be predominately delivered on-campus. On-campus sessions will be supported by delivery of asynchronous activities.
- Appropriate student support will be in place within the module.
- This module will assist students to develop key'I am UWS Graduate Attributes' and will ensure that those who complete this module successfully will be:
- Universal:
Emotionally Intelligent
Culturally aware
Collaborative
- Work Ready:
Digitally literate
Problem-solver
Motivated
- Successful:
Autonomous
Resilient
Driven

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 |
|---|
| Teaching and learning approaches will utilise a combination of blended and face-to-face delivery. Core theoretical content will be predominantly delivered through a series of online materials, including recorded lectures. Face-to-face sessions will comprise of applied practical sessions in the laboratory and supporting tutorials. Much of the learning will be achieved through practical challenges, directed independent study tasks, group work and/or class discussion, and problem solving. |
