Master’s programmes delivery, blended learning <strong>and</strong> students’ wellbeing have been meticulously<br />

designed in the postgraduate framework. Each programme comprises 6 modules <strong>and</strong> there is some<br />

commonality <strong>of</strong> modules across different programmes. For example, a Masters in Education (MEd), may<br />

have commonality with a Masters in Social Work (MSc) in that Child Care & Protection is an issue<br />

relevant to both courses. The postgraduate framework has been developed <strong>and</strong> adjusted such that a common<br />

module, say in ‘Child Care’ has implications for future inter-pr<strong>of</strong>essional collaborations. Each module<br />

unfolds across an average time line <strong>of</strong> 22 weeks. As the university promotes collaborative tasks <strong>and</strong><br />

blended learning, the module is characterised as one having a start date, a project-submission date <strong>and</strong> a<br />

summative assessment date for different cohort <strong>of</strong> students. A representative time line <strong>and</strong> the various<br />

constituting activities that underpin blended learning are displayed as Figure 2.<br />
