All of this module’s study materials are online. Online materials are composed of pages of text with images; audio and video clips of varied duration (all with transcripts or subtitles); diagrams; and interactive media. Online materials also include links to external resources, online forums and online tutorial rooms.
This module provides a range of learning events: online tutorials and a compulsory online leadership event. Although not compulsory, attendance at tutorials will help you consolidate your learning.
You will be required to collaborate with other students and this is assessed. This includes looking at, and commenting on, others’ work; reflecting on others’ comments on your work; and/or working together with fellow learners on a project/task.
Online and field-based practical work forms a required component of assessment as this is a work‑based module. This includes some collaborative group work.
The study materials contain some diagrams and photographs. Reading and interpreting these is an important part of the study of this module. Figure descriptions are provided for the diagrams. Figure descriptions are not provided for the photographs, as these do not form part of the assessment.
You may be required to search for, and make use of, third-party material online – links to the websites are provided within the module material. Please contact us if you have any concerns about this aspect of your learning.
Online reading material is provided on the website as PDFs and e-books.
This module has Tutor-Marked Assignments (TMAs), which must be submitted online via the OU electronic TMA system, and an end-of-module assessment submitted in hard paper-copy by post.
You will receive feedback from your tutor on your submitted Tutor-Marked Assignments (TMAs). This will help you to reflect on your TMA performance. You should refer to it to help you prepare for your next assignment.
All University modules are structured according to a set timetable and you will need time‑management skills to keep your studies on track. You will be supported in developing these skills.
