Learning & Teaching Strategies

During this module you will receive key note lectures that will provide an introduction to the topics covered. Each lecture will be pertinent to the topic being developed and teaching will be through wider groups to enhance your understanding and decision making when supporting a person at the end of life and in the management of loss and bereavement. This approach will ensure that you encounter a wide range of case histories and complex issues. You will receive individual tutorials aimed at meeting your individual learning needs, plus a mixture of methods including individual and group exercises and discussion, self-directed study. The tutorials are to help you establish a learning framework that will enable you to meet the learning outcomes of the module. As well as lectures and tutorials, a range of web based resources will be made available to you via Moodle, the University's virtual learning environment, to aid you in achieving the knowledge requirement identified. E-learning is also provided via Moodle to enable you to undertake further study in a place and at a time that is convenient for you.
