Blended learning refers to the combination of face to face and online learning. It empowers you to collaborate remotely through Moodle, share materials and discuss your work with your peers and tutors. Blended learning equally provides lecturers with opportunities to review your progress, to add tasks, for example, tests for revision purposes, podcasts, videos and other materials between lectures, keeping sites up to date and interactive. Through blending the learning we are able to respond to the range of learning needs and preferences expressed by our student groups. Blended learning also refers to the inclusion of tasks and opportunities that add value by offering exceptional opportunities for learning. Employability: (academic, professional and graduate skills) There is a particular emphasis in the course on employability using volunteering, employment and work experience in appropriate placements as a vehicle for employability skill development. To provide you with the opportunities to compete effectively at the next stage of your career, the team actively promote using volunteering, employment and work experience and have made a variety of links in the local community to support you to take up these opportunities. The production of a reflective log will be required to underpin the links between theory and practice which are key to completing a summative assessment using this information. The delivery and assessment of teaching and learning: 6
6 The teaching and learning strategy is developmental and cumulative and as such includes formative (opportunities to practise new skills) and summative assignments (assessments that contribute to your progression through the programme). These assessments are structured to promote self-confidence and enhance performance. The delivery of the programme is varied and increasingly innovative. Student participation is considered a key to success and attendance is closely monitored. We have an expectation that attendance will be 100% to achieve degree level study. The key aim for all assessments in the programme is to enable you to demonstrate that you have achieved the intended learning outcomes of the programme and each contributory module. The assessment strategy also seeks to: facilitate your learning experience through a varied range of assessment methods develop assessment skills that foster independent and reflective learning encourage engagement in group activities and private study foster a range of generic and key skills vital to maximise employment opportunities Learning and teaching methods are designed to support the move to autonomy and independent learning, and will include: lectures laboratory classes tutorials simulated crime scene experience case studies seminars and workshops, including oral presentations directed and independent study involving electronic resources on the college s Moodle site (virtual learning environment), textbooks and other self-study materials problem-based learning interactive computer-based learning training and practice in the use of IT and software packages project work, both individual and in teams reading and interpreting research publications Methods of Assessment: The assessment throughout the programme will include a blend of typical assessment activities such as written assignments, presentations and reports, alongside innovative and employability focused tasks such as case study analysis, problem based activities and reflective logs. These methods are chosen to encourage knowledge development, practitioner skills, and a range of transferable and professional capabilities such as communication and presentation skills, problem-solving, team work, numeracy and IT skills. Forms of Assessment: All assessments occur during or on completion of modules, and will include a range of Summative and Formative tasks. In each module, you have the opportunity to engage in summative and formative assessments. Summative assessment refers to work submitted for module and programme credit to achieve a recognised educational qualification, and is used to assess whether you have achieved the relevant 7
7 Learning Outcomes in a module. Summative assessment is captured in the overall mark awarded for each module. Formative assessments occur in each of the modules to provide a foundation to build on for the future summative assessments. Indicative Range of Formative & Summative Assessment Methods: The breadth of assessment methods acknowledges that graduate and employability skills are many and varied and so you need opportunities to develop, practice and be assessed on as full a range of skills as possible. The traditional methods (e.g. essay) are supplemented by applied methods, for example, portfolio, case analysis, oral presentation for the workplace. Some examples of the assessment types used on the programme appear below: unseen examinations laboratory reports portfolios problem solving reports on simulated crime scenes critical analysis of case studies critical analysis of journal articles project work oral, audio-visual and poster presentations dissertations peer and self-assessment group work Student Support As a student on this programme that maybe employed, or undertaking a voluntary placement within a related Science setting, a local induction with details of key information, contacts and services available within the College will be provided for you and the setting.
