Students reflect on their own learning using online tools (such as blogs, wikis, forums).
- Students complete set tasks and lead the topic discussions. This may count as their attendance (for distance learning courses) and/or form part of their assessment.
- Online communication tools are predominantly used to question, clarify and debate the taught concepts, rather than answer administrative queries, although a space for these is provided.
Students as ChangeMakers
Students develop their own learning resources and share these with their peers (e.g. videos, blogs, paper summaries, quiz questions). This may form part of the assessment. The act of creating such work helps students learn the content and high-quality materials can be re-used for future cohorts of students (if permission is gained).
Students are encouraged to adhere to accessibility guidelines when creating their own work.
