Module Recommendations
This is prior learning (or a practical skill) that is strongly recommended before enrolment in this module. You may enrol in this module if you have not acquired the recommended learning but you will have considerable difficulty in passing (i.e. achieving the learning outcomes of) the module. While the prior learning is expressed as named DkIT module(s) it also allows for learning (in another module or modules) which is equivalent to the learning specified in the named module(s).

In the practical sessions, the delivery of new material will be integrated with the practical implementation of that material (approximately: 40% delivery, 60% implementation). This flexible mode of teaching allows students to derive maximum benefit from the sessions. Students will work both individually and in groups to enhance their learning. |
