Teaching
The Transforming Practice route is offered as a blended learning route. This means that the route will be offered partly online via a Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) Moodle site and partly via Faculty based sessions. You will be required to attend Faculty based teaching conferences on Saturdays apart from an induction day on a Friday in the Michaelmas term and then four subsequent Saturday conferences per year. The conferences will be an opportunity to develop and enhance the ideas you explore via the online component. You will be part of a community of enquiry, with a member of the course teaching team who will be working with you and your group on the course materials and course online discussions. These online discussions will be in the evenings within University term time will reflect both course content and small enquiry tasks which you will be asked to undertake.
