The module focuses upon some key factors in the development of rich learning environments, e.g. strategies for teaching, learning, assessment and evaluation. Students are encouraged to consider how they wish their professional practice to develop in these areas and how each of these elements can be constructively aligned with the others. Students are required to plan, implement and evaluate teaching, developing and using a range of teaching and learning techniques· The module provides an opportunity for students to actively consider the use of ICT in facilitating teaching and learning.
