The University of Canberra policy notes:

• A postgraduate coursework course or sequence will introduce a graduate student to study in a new discipline or extend study in a field or discipline beyond undergraduate level, for work-related and/or professional purposes and as a pathway to further learning.
• Students admitted to a course will commence study with a sufficient basis of prior knowledge and skills to achieve the course learning outcomes and the learning outcomes for the AQF qualification type and level in the time available in the course.
• A masters degree (coursework) qualifies individuals who apply an advanced body of knowledge in a range of contexts for professional practice or scholarship and as a pathway for further learning (AQF Specification).

Assessment

This course is assessed by an electronic portfolio (ePortfolio).

In the unit, we emphasise the importance of your Personal Learning Environment. Like Ben Werdmuller (2014), we believe that your personal learning environment puts you at the centre of your learning. Your ePortfolio represents you and your learning to your peers and the outside world.

Jane Hart (2014) shares a spectrum of learning opportunities in the workplace. We emphasise the importance of your workplace in this unit. Our goal is to encourage you to move towards independent social learning.
