Course Description
This case study of best practice for the development and delivery of modules by open and distance learning has been developed by the Open Learning Foundation�s working group for health and nursing programmes.
The impetus for the guide came from a series of questions put forward by Peter Foreman at La Trobe University in Australia. These questions raised the same issues we have been grappling with in the UK. By pooling the working group�s knowledge and experiences, we have endeavoured to develop a specification to inform and guide practice in our individual institutions.
The specification is also a kite mark of good practice for departments (or faculties or schools) of health and nursing using Open Learning Foundation modules as part of their awards.
This guide has drawn on the QAA�s Guidelines on the Quality Assurance of Distance Learning as well as case studies and staff development materials published by the Open Learning Foundation OLF publication (see resources section)
Tutor Support
With this course you will have unlimited access to your own personal tutor who specialises in their field of study. It is your personal tutor's role to ensure that you receive constructive feedback and to deal with any queries you may have. You are more than welcome to telephone, fax or email your personal tutor.
You will also have access to a dedicated and friendly team of administrators and course advisors who offer sound and professional guidance and advice when you need it. This ensures that you will never feel neglected and that you will always succeed!
Assessment Method
After each lesson there will be a question paper, which needs to be completed and submitted to your personal tutor for marking. This method of continual assessment ensures that your personal tutor can consistently monitor your progress and provide you with assistance throughout the duration of the course.
