2 SECTION TWO: Overview Overview of the Programme: This Programme is designed for learners who wish to advance their knowledge and understanding of important aspects of Computing and Information Technologies in order to enhance career opportunities, or to prepare themselves for postgraduate research. Importantly, it does not solely focus on digital technologies per se, but also places these in context in respect of both their impact on society and the environment. Additionally, learners are supported in gaining an appreciation of ethical considerations which impact on the decision making processes of today s Computing and IT professionals, who are dealing with ever more sophisticated technologies. The Research Project module forms a very important part of this Programme and provides learners with the opportunity to undertake research into a selected topic. This may involve, for example, the collection and analysis of data, a feasibility study, a research informed review, or hardware and/or software development. Learners are particularly encouraged to select project topics that draw on and advance their work-based skills. The Research Project module culminates in the preparation of a formal report, accompanied by a brief video in which the work undertaken and results obtained are outlined. The Programme allows learners to study at their own pace, in any location, via a virtual learning environment which forms the Programme s virtual classroom. Interaction with others in the Programme and with the Academic Associates who teach the modules ensures that learners are engaged in a vibrant learning community. This online Programme attracts learners from many countries and therefore provides learners with an ideal opportunity to develop an international professional network. The Programme is designed to support learners in gaining confidence with a range of valuable transferable skills. These include: problem solving abilities, the ability to incisively analyse problems and report findings, and an understanding of the role of professional bodies such as the British Computing Society in supporting continuous professional development. In developing this Programme, we have been cognisent of the fact that today s employers are increasingly seeking Computing/IT staff who can not only develop, operate and manage hardware and software systems, but who can also communicate effectively with others, participate in team work and deliver results in a timely manner. Consequently, where appropriate group activity is encouraged particularly in relation to the use of the dynamic virtual classroom model. In this way the Programme supports learners in gaining/refining key skills which are so very much in demand within the workplace.

8 SECTION FIVE: Learning & Teaching Learning and Teaching Methods This programme is underpinned by the University of Derby Online Learning s Academic Framework. This framework outlines the teaching and learning approach taken within modules delivered through the online modality. Modules are delivered by Academic Associates supported by a senior Academic Lead who ensures that modules are up-to-date, relevant, supported by research content, and that pertinent examples and case studies are used to illustrate teaching. Modules within the programme use the Self-paced, Supported Online Learning learning paradigm backed by principles of Collaborative Online Learning in which the virtual learning environment forms an interactive virtual classroom. The key features of self-paced, supported online learning are: You can work through a module at your own pace, with an Academic Associate and peer group to call on for support, with a set of optional tasks to undertake to support your learning and with explicitly identified formative assessment activities, about which you receive online feedback and guidance from your Academic Associate. You are provided with a set number of units of learning content. Content can be textual; can include video and audio material, live sessions or presentations with voiceovers. Each unit of content contains optional tasks for you to undertake to apply or process the content. These activities generally include suggestions for postings you could make in the community space for the module. Each module contains explicitly identified formative assessment activities that you can undertake, and for which you can expect to receive feedback from your Academic Associate. You may be provided with the opportunity to participate in a set number of live classroom sessions during the module (recordings of these sessions are normally made available to everyone on the module). Additional key features of collaborative online learning paradigm are: At a set point or points within the module, you are required to participate in online collaborative activity. This is intended to enhance the scope and profundity of the learning experience and contributes towards your final assessment for the module. An important responsibility of the Academic Associate is to promote and orchestrate collaborative activity. You are encouraged to initiate appropriate discussions and to share content relevant to the subject areas under study. There will be a community space / discussion area for the module which is the primary space for you to receive support from the Academic Associate and peers. The community space / discussion area will be managed by your Academic Associate. All class members are required to exhibit professional behaviour in discussions, and must not post content which may be deemed inappropriate or which may be offensive to the international and multicultural learner cohort. 8

9 SECTION SIX: Assessment Modules are typically assessed through one or more coursework assignments. Depending on the nature of a given coursework assignment, you may be given the assignment specification at the beginning of the module for hand-in at the end of the module, or it may be given later in the module to complete before a set deadline. Normally, you will receive feedback on coursework within three weeks of submission. Modules are designed to provide ample opportunities for formative feedback to guide you in your learning. Assignments may involve case studies, developing answers to set questions, projects, practical activities, recorded video presentations, formal reports and participation in interactive discussions. Assignments may be individual or collaborative (i.e. may involve group work). Some may be based entirely on material covered in online units and others may require independent research. Assignments are to be submitted in line with the University s requirement for the electronic submission of all assessment tasks and must represent a learner s own work. Please note that during the marking of the Coursework, you may be required to participate in a videobased Interview. This may occur when the Examiners need clarification about aspects of the work that you have done, and/or for authentication purposes. Further detail on the University of Derby Online Learning s approach to assessment can be found within our Academic Framework: This programme operates within the University s Regulatory Framework and conforms to its regulations on assessment. These can be found at; Statement of Ethics All learners are required to comply with research governance and ethics principles whilst undertaking their programme of study. This is of particular importance when conducting research involving people, animals etc. Information on these principles can be found on the University web site at: Additional Costs Please note that in the case that you undertake assignment or project work which involves the development of hardware, then you will be responsible for procuring (or gaining access to) components, tools, test equipment and the like. This therefore represents an additional cost which is not included in the Programme fees. SECTION SEVEN: Admission Entry requirements Within the context of the University s Mission Statement, equal opportunities and the Admissions policy, the course aims to attract a wide range of applicants. All applicants must 9

10 satisfy the entry criteria and also be suitably prepared to achieve the aims and objectives of the Programme. The University general entry requirements can be found on our website at: Entry to any other stage of the programme may be possible subject to the University s Accreditation of Prior Learning procedures which may give credit for prior skills, experience or learning. Learners wishing to gain access to the top-up programme will be required to possess the equivalent of 240 credits at levels 4 and 5, usually 120 credits at each of these levels. The credits will be expected to be in a related discipline. An applicant s significant life and work experience can be taken as the equivalent to traditional qualifications, but the Admissions Tutor reserves the right to interview an individual to ascertain the relevance of their work and life experience as an acceptable qualification for the programme Learners whose first language is not English, will be required to achieve an IELTS score of 6.5. We welcome and encourage applications from people of all ages as long as they can be considered adequately prepared to succeed on the Programme. If learners have few or no formal qualifications, they may be able to gain entry to the Programme if they have the required communication and learning skills as well as the knowledge, experience and motivation to succeed. All learners will be asked to provide evidence of academic potential and commitment to confirm their ability to undertake the programme. SECTION EIGHT: Learner Support & Guidance For online learners there is an Online Learner Orientation which serves the purpose of highlighting the particular needs of online study and to prepare learners for the online learning environment. This orientation is available to you before formal entry to the programme and is accessible to you throughout your studies. As an enrolled learner, there are a number of support mechanisms available including: Online Learner Advisors team who provide advice and guidance on administrative, technical and pastoral support issues. Subject specialist Academic Leads who are able to provide academic guidance and are also able to refer learners to central university services designed to support their academic and personal development within the programme. Within the University of Derby Online Learning s Academic framework we also discuss learner support and the opportunities available to learners. More detail in this area is available via: 10

11 Module Support Problems or questions regarding a particular module should be directed initially to the Academic Associate (this is the person who teaches the online module). If they are unable to help, you should contact the Online Learner Advisors team for guidance and they will provide assistance on what to do next. In addition, you may also contact the Academic Lead for the Programme. SECTION NINE: Post Programme Opportunities Post-Programme Opportunities This Programme is designed to provide you with highly transferable subject, academic and practical skills which are widely sought by today s Computing and Information Technologies employers. The knowledge and skills gained from studying this Programme will enhance your ability to develop your career and /or enrich your professional practice.
