Description of Module Assessment

1: Report weighted 20%
Reflective commentary
Assessment Part 1 ¿ Educational Media Design Framework. The 1000-word reflective commentary will justify the choice of media, supported by evidence and referring to the educational theory underpinning their project. It will also evaluate the effectiveness of the project.

2: Project weighted 80%
The project can be digital or analogue: It needs to be applicable to the learning needs of the target group
Learners will design and develop a piece of educational media and present it to both their peers on the course and to two faculty members (normally the module lead and the course director; if one of these is unavailable another module lead from within the medical education faculty may be substituted). The presentation will last up to 20 minutes with an additional 10 minutes for questions. The presentation will be hosted on the bespoke IT platform (based on MS teams, that has been developed for the distance learning modules). There are no marks for the presentation. The two faculty members will assess the design and development of the project and evaluate the student's appraisal of their work.

The University undertakes a continuous review of its teaching and research provision to ensure programmes are of a high quality and changes may be made to modules where it is necessary and reasonable to do so. Please be aware that minor changes to modules, such as a change to an individual assessment, can occur up until enrolment, although we endeavour to give you as much notice as possible of any changes. Details about the circumstance in which changes are made to programmes can be found in the Student Agreement, available at: https://www.keele.ac.uk/legalgovernancecompliance/governance/actcharterstatutesordinancesandregulations/studenttermsconditions/
