Overview

The programme is delivered through blended learning whereby students attend evening sessions online along with one onsite day in our Tallaght Campus.

The online components involve students and their lecturer logging into our online 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 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!

Assessment

Learners are assessed through a continuous assessment strategy, which includes a variety of mediums such as individual projects and written assessments. Each module has its own assessment strategy relevant to the content of that module.
