EDM121 – Developing Leadership and Your Reflective Practice
Masters level, small group. Originally five full days of face-to-face teaching. Started in term 2.
Learning was moved online after day 2:
- parts of the assessment were adapted: students were asked to submit a narrated Powerpoint instead of presenting in class. They were also assigned a group and would peer assess each member’s submission. The rest of the assessment, reflective blog posts, remained unchanged.
- The days were broken into chunks of content and activities organised around themes. Every two to three weeks a new section would be open on Moodle to start the new topic. Each topic would be organised around the following:
- independent learning activities on Moodle
- synchronous session to introduce the topic, often with a guest speaker ; to review progress on activities and discuss further; as a Q&A with regard to the content or activities
- suggested deadlines for topical blog posts
- opportunities for formative assessment with deadlines at various points of the module (presentation and blog posts)
