Mode of study

Apart from a printed readings booklet containing copies of longer readings (for Learning Guide activities) all of this module’s study materials are online. Online materials are composed of pages of text with images, and audio or video clips, most of which are less than 10 minutes long. All audio and video clips have transcripts/subtitles and other visual items such as diagrams, interactive media and quizzes have been made accessible. Online materials also include links to external resources, online forums and online tutorial rooms.

Tuition strategy

This module provides a range of learning events including short one-to-one online sessions with your AL and online rooms. Within the KE322 Learning Guides, there will be 'Inline discussions' which will involve interaction with the module author of each of the Learning Guides. Although not compulsory, participating in these learning events will help you get the most from the module. 

Working with others

There are opportunities to work with other students within a few of the activities. This includes looking at, and commenting on, the contributions of other KE322 students.

Practical work

Some of the activities will include module wide, cluster group or tutor group discussion.

Diagrams and other visual content

The study materials contain some diagrams, tables and photographs and reading and interpreting these form an important part of the study of this module. Figure descriptions are provided for all figures.
