This module focuses on how to develop effective learning in workplace settings. Through two face-to-face study days and online learning, students are introduced to a range of practical and theoretical concepts. These concepts inform students, for example, on how to help their learners effectively integrate and participate in the workplace, assist learners to become progressively independent and support their skill development. Students will also consider how to ensure learning is safe, effective and sustainable. Students take part in tutor and student-led sessions, which involve developing a work-based learning and teaching plan for their specific workplace setting.
