Why e-learning?
• Timetabling• Opens up learning to potentially more diverse cohort
of students• Multiple geographical locations• Online communication: a vital enterprise skill. Many
organisations work with clients, colleagues and contacts all around the world - students will too!
• Learning materials – build up extensive body of teaching content that can be adapted and re-used

MOLE (My Online Learning Environment)
• Weekly learning module topics– an ‘alternative ‘to face-to-face lectures– selective release: each topic only made available to students
following completion of previous learning module and a formative weekly quiz
• Weekly online journal– blog format (must be included in final portfolio)– time management: completed each week– feeds into final reflective report
• Discussion and chat areas• Resources and external links

Why interdisciplinarity?
• Outside comfort zone• Working in a mixed group
requires strength and confidence in one’s own discipline – what can you bring to the table?
• Brings new perspectives to work done in student’s core subject discipline
• Meet new people and make new friends
• Transferrable skills• In the ‘real world’, you
never work only with those of the same background as you – good preparation for working life, whether employed or self-employed
• Different fields have different working cultures – a chance to learn from others

Peer assessment
• Group work is anonymously peer assessed based solely on an individual’s contribution relative to their group.
• Each group member scores each other group member between -3 and 3 with a net total score of 0 across the group

Peer assessmentFor example: Joe Bloggs scores his group as follows
• Jane Doe 2• John Smith 0• Sarah Brown 1• Robert Jones -3
So in a group where all members contribute equally, all members would score 0.
