The course will be delivered online through live sessions. WhatsApp communications will be used for the delivery of feedback by the tutors and the exchange of ideas with the rest of the cohort. You will also have to work in teams outside of live sessions. The overall workload for the course will be approximately 15 hours per week.
The course will be supported by cohort-based learning (CBL).
CBL has been described as the next evolution in online learning. Whereas traditional online learning takes place individually, and therefore can often be a lonely learning experience, CBL facilitates people learning as part of a micro community, where there is social accountability to complete tasks and learning on a weekly basis. Activities during the course include a blend of synchronous group sessions, asynchronous study resources, weekly group work to build up the artefact(s) from the course and regular peer and tutor feedback on the group work.
