Module Content & Assessment

Indicative Content
Operational Plan
As this module will utilise content, resources and assessments which are specific to a particular company and/or context, each instance of this module will undergo a desktop evaluation and approval process once suitable company and faculty representatives and candidate students have been identified. The process will be as follows: • A suitable company is identified for the module instance • A faculty representative from NCI and a representative from the designated company are identified to facilitate the module • One or more candidate students are assigned to this specific module instance • The elected faculty and company facilitators outline the final module plan including the curriculum, reading, resources and appropriate ePortfolio content items. This plan should also include a mapping of learning outcomes to each portfolio content item to ensure that the module content and assessment is appropriate. • The module plan is presented to programme committee for approval in advance of the module delivery • Any changes recommended by programme committee should be reviewed and the module should return to programme committee with any relevant changes • Once approved, the module is delivered either on or off campus by the approved facilitators to the student or group of students identified previously
