Learning Design for Blended and Online Education (CCME0131)

This module explores design methods for blended and online education with a specific focus on Learning Design. Learning Design requires a good understanding of the learning process and of suitable teaching strategies, with the aim to create a rewarding learning experience. The module will engage in debates on different design approaches and theories to develop knowledge around the whys and hows of teaching and learning with digital technology. Using specific tools, students will build their own learning designs alongside scholarly justifications of their decisions, with a focus on making appropriate use of technologies to support learning in a variety of contexts from augmenting to fully replacing face-to-face interaction.

This module is appropriate for educators and professionals engaged in the design of online courses and various formats of blended learning. The primary focus is on adult education and training, but knowledge transfer to other contexts, including schools, is possible. We recommend that participants without any experience of blended or online learning take a short free MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) on a topic of choice prior to the module.

The Economics and Finance of Housing Development (BPLN0019)

The module examines the housing development process to highlight the economic concepts and financing options and criteria that constrain housing development. Discussions will cover an overview of housing development, housing development cycles, the housing market, market analysis, housing development financing and appraisal of housing development through ten two-hour lectures delivered by the module coordinator and, where possible, guest speakers. Furthermore the class is divided into two tutorial/seminar groups that meet at alternate weeks for four optional one-hour tutorial/discussion sections facilitated by the module coordinator over ten weeks. By completing the module, students will be equipped with the knowledge and skills to enable them to identify new housing market opportunities and structure a development financing package that maximises the developer’s objectives.
