All course material will be available online through Staffordshire Universitys virtual learning environment. This offers you choice and flexibility about when you access learning content, and you are able to study at a pace that suits you.
The course also considers the complexity of approaches to teaching in healthcare, including the variety of different types of learning context. It also addresses the diversity of learner characteristics and matters of equality and inclusion. The opportunity is therefore provided to critically reflect upon and evaluate various approaches utilised within teaching practice, such as lectures, group work, one-to-one supervision, virtual platforms, and simulation.
The course examines underpinning theories and concepts associated with teaching and learning. It will explore how these theories/concepts can be integrated with evaluations to sharpen knowledge and understanding of practical teaching delivery. It will also consider the role of education in supporting wider organisational aims.

Teaching
All modules are provided on a part-time basis with one module per term. In the MSc, your final year will be focused on your Dissertation or Project Based Change module. The distance-learning format enables you to engage with the materials from any location and at a time that suits you best.
To help you schedule your time for learning, there will usually be a weekly release of new topic materials during the early stages of each module. The initial introduction to these materials occurs at a set time each week but, oncelive, these materials remain available to you for the duration of your course.
The course will enable you to acquire the relevant knowledge and skills regarding all aspects of teaching and learning. This will help you to contribute to the advancement and promotion of teaching and learning practice within your workplace. It will also enable you to develop effective problem-solving, decision-making and communication skills that can be applied to the scrutiny of the professional and organisational norms and values that shape teaching and learning opportunities within the workplace.
Virtual Learning Environment
The use of the Virtual Learning Environment will enable sharing and collaboration, with the opportunity to watch live webinars, video recordings, power point presentations, simulations (recorded and real time) and to achieve collaborative working on projects and discussions. As part of establishing an online community, through the platform you will be able to create smaller groups for project work and group discussions. A small number of optional group tutorials will be available via MS Teams each term. These provide a valuable means for peer support.
