Teaching will take an array of formats including lecturers, seminars, workshop, one to one and more. Teaching will be largely practical work focused so that learners are building outcomes using the theoretical knowledge they have gained. Assessment is largely coursework based with learners keeping an online blog to store their work for each module. Some modules will also have essay components that are handed in more traditionally.
