Assessment Strategy

The assessment strategy is designed to provide students with the opportunity to demonstrate:

 


  • Knowledge and understanding of traditional, digital and alternative learning and teaching approaches used in business and management education and beyond in a global context and their ability to produce digital learning resources.

  • Personal and professional development and insights gained during the module



 

Thus, the summative assessment for this module consists of:

 


  • Provocative podcast, (80%), 10 min



The provocative podcasts refers to learning outcomes 1, 2, 3 and 4.


  • Reflective account (5 min, 20%)



The reflective account should be submitted as an audio recording and refers to learning outcome 3, 4 and 5.

 

Formative assessment


  • As part of teacher training it is paramount that student practice teach, which is a component assessed summatively in module MANM411. There are 2h dedicated to formatively assessing students’ capabilities to teach. This might include the use of digital tools, linking global and cultural concepts as part of their teaching session or facilitating a session on other subjects of their interest.



Feedback


  • Feedback will be provided online via the virtual learning environment and face-to-face during personal learning consultations. Feedback will be given to formative and summative assessments.


Module aims

  • Gain a critical understanding of different traditional and alternative learning and teaching approaches used inside and outside business and management education globally.
  • Become familiar with learning and teaching terminology and language to ensure students are able to compete (employability).
  • Deepen reflective and prospective practices including feedback, mindfulness to self and others, self-awareness, resilience, resourcefulness and confidence.
