Learning and Teaching Methods

The module will be studied as a web-based distance-learning programme. The student will be encouraged to develop their knowledge throughout the module by undertaking various activities; these will include reading a relevant article and answering questions, reflecting on an area of practice, accessing information on-line and providing feedback and exploring specific areas of practice at a local level. During the module optional study days will be available to support the modular workbook material with hands-on practical workshops being the most prevalent teaching method to complement module material. Students will be encouraged to use these sessions for problem exploration and discussion.

Further support will be provided through the use of module related chat-rooms and discussion forums in addition to tutorial time offered for individual students. This is particularly important for the distance learner who is required to keep a high level of motivation in the absence of face to face contact with course lecturers. The Wound Healing Research Unit has a worldwide reputation in the field of wound healing, and is fortunate that students have access to Unit members and associates who have conducted leading research in the field.
