Blended Delivery
This programme is delivered via blended learning, whereby students attend evening sessions online along with some onsite days in our Tallaght Campus.
The online components involve students and their lecturer logging into our online learning platform Moodle and use the online portal Zoom™ simultaneously.
Zoom™ provides and integrative online environment for students and Lecturers to interact and engage in the learning. This platform facilitates discussion polls, sharing of slides, videos resources and much, much more. To foster more intimate learning environments the use of breakout rooms is also implemented, allowing for the safe and experiential triadic learning practice that we have found so successful.
All of our online sessions are accessible through computer and mobile devices and we have a structured and robust technology department to support all faculty and students through their online learning journey. To encourage flexibility, and the best practice, we also record online sessions, these are made accessible only to the students in that class to review content whenever is convenient to them!

Through engaging with the module curriculum, participants will develop their competencies in line with the European Framework for The Digital Competence for Educators (DigCompEdu). Recent research demonstrates that, technology is successful when it is interactive, includes real-time feedback, and gives students the ability to creatively apply and evaluate what they have learned. Higher education is experiencing huge change. Technology enhanced learning has the potential to offer pedagogical approaches that are both accessible and flexible in the modern world. It recognises the richness diverse student profiles can bring to the learning experience and so promotes social learning. If used correctly technology can provide opportunities to engage learners of all profiles and offer an inclusive engaged learning environment.
