Course Details – Assessment Method

This programme has a strong emphasis on practicality and applicability. Students are not merely assessed on their understanding of the key pedagogical and technical principles of digital learning design, but their ability to apply them within their own professional environment. A number of modules will be assessed using portfolios which require the completion of a number of smaller tasks that are spread across the academic semester. This ensures that assessment deadlines are not ‘bunched’ at the end of a semester and that students receive feedback on a regular basis that contributes to their development and improvement. The assessment strategy will include some reports/essays in the academic year to assess knowledge and application outcomes. Coursework and project-style tasks will make up a large proportion of the assessments with a variety of communication tools incorporated such as individual and group presentations, case studies, and websites, actual implementation may vary in each based on current technology developments. Assessment tasks and learning outcomes will be also be mapped to evidence the progression from one module to the next, enabling students to track their own progress and development.
