Teaching and Learning Methods

A learner-centred approach will be adopted with the aim of promoting independent learning; as a consequence direct face-to-face teaching contact hours will be supplemented by tutor-guided and independent reading and research which will emphasise the need to work in a critical way with theory and empirical research sources.

MBA level of study students are encouraged to take responsibility for their own learning with staff facilitating the learning process. The aim is to encourage a high level of student autonomy in learning and the capacity to apply this within the wider environment. These overall aims are achieved through the use of a variety of learning and teaching techniques which include lectures, seminars, workshops, discussions, debates, group tutorials, case studies, problem-based learning etc.

Additionally, Moodle VLE will be used for developing interactive activities such as quizzes or forums; it also allows staff and students to create discussion groups. Students are encouraged to make significant use of Glyndŵr University on-line resources especially journals and e-books.
