Structure of Learning Resources for Open Learning and E-Learning (if applicable)
The nature of the content and process determines that the complete module guide will be available on-line, and students will use a digital submission process. Additionally, students will be set a small task each week (sometimes practical, sometimes research / theoretical) that they will have to submit electronically by the day before each lesson. This is structured as a formative assessment exercise.
