Description
Designed, developed, coordinated and delivered this Master’s unit. Social constructivism was the underpinning learning theory adopted to create an engaging and supportive environment for students to construct and consolidate their knowledge. The unit adopted blended learning theory and a flipped classroom approach to support accessibility and autonomous, self-directed learning where students accessed pre-recorded lectures, readings and multi-media content, followed by interactive blended asynchronous seminars promoting metacognitive development through problem-based learning. Following Biggs SOLO and Blooms taxonomy, lectures and seminars were scaffolded, and students built on learnings in an applied and collaborative context, while outputs directly contributed to assessment.
