How this paper will be taught

Edit How this paper will be taught Content

This paper is taught in Moodle, and is entirely online with no on campus component. The paper is asynchronous, making it ideal for students juggling complex timetables or studying at a distance, due to the flexibility of timing. There will be optional synchronous opportunities for students wishing to meet in real-time with peers and/or the paper convenor.

Students are advised that there is an emphasis on asynchronous online discussion in this class, via Moodle forums. It is imperative that students are prepared to participate actively in the online discussions, as these function as tutorial groups where knowledge is built through interaction.

Other elements in the teaching of this paper include:

Weekly announcements and reminders of work to prioritise

Regular panopto (video) recordings to talk students through learning challenges

Assigned readings and multimedia resources to explore

Zoom opportunities for help with assignments

A 'Can anyone help?' forum for asking questions at any time

Individual tutorial dialogue spaces for personalised communication with the convenor.
