Course Description
Education, Learning and Development Certificate
This programme is delivered by way of four interlinked modules Programme Design Pedagogical Practice, Assessment Strategy, and Evaluation and Reflection. The Evaluation and Reflection module runs alongside each of the other three modules. The rationale for this is to evaluate and reflect on our professional development as we go through each module. Formal sessions take place over two days (block release) once a month for three months (see timetable). Participants are then allowed six weeks to prepare a Professional Development Portfolio to be submitted for final assessment. At every stage during the programme participants are supported both remotely and face-to-face. Extensive use will be made of the Colleges virtual learning environment, Moodle, to offer additional learning resources to help develop and underpin the learning during the time between sessions. Additionally, all programme participants will be allocated a tutor to advise and support them throughout the programme.
