TEACHING<br />
TIMETABLE<br />
new<br />
The 2013/2014 timetable for the teaching sessions on<br />
the Postgraduate Certificate and Postgraduate Diploma<br />
has been changed to allow the opportunity for our<br />
distance learners to attend one or more <strong>of</strong> the modules<br />
face-to-face and to allow our face-to-face students<br />
a more focused route through the programme. Each<br />
module will be taught in a one week block with an<br />
additional two weeks for face-to-face students given<br />
over to peer-led sessions and the completion <strong>of</strong><br />
assignments.<br />
This is a wonderful opportunity for our distance<br />
learners to join with our face-to-face study fellows on<br />
the one week teaching <strong>of</strong> modules. It will provide a<br />
way <strong>of</strong> fast tracking through the course and also allow<br />
for learning in a truly international context.<br />
REGULATIONS<br />
• Open to all current Distance Learning students (those undertaking the<br />
paper-based course will be subject to a mapping exercise to determine<br />
suitability).<br />
• Distance Learning students MUST have completed the online<br />
Induction module prior to attendance.<br />
• Distance Learning students will be required to pay an additional<br />
£200 for the one week <strong>of</strong> intensive teaching for their chosen<br />
module (Early Bird rates may be available).<br />
• Attendance for distance learning students is limited to a maximum <strong>of</strong><br />
two modules per Academic Year.<br />
• Assignment deadlines will be strongly encouraged for all students.<br />
• Please refer to the closing dates for individual modules<br />
(3 months prior to module commencement).<br />
PLEASE NOTE: Places are limited and will be allocated on a first come<br />
first served basis therefore it is advisable to express your interest as early<br />
as possible.<br />

conceptions, and critique current learning style theories. Taxonomies for<br />
skills, attitudes and knowledge are applied to lesson planning, and a variety<br />
<strong>of</strong> tools for measuring educational environment and teacher development<br />
are explored. Core module at Certificate level. (Closing date: 21 June 2013)<br />

The aim <strong>of</strong> this module is to introduce participants to mixed methods,<br />
qualitative and quantitative research in medical education, including<br />
generic issues such as ethics, use <strong>of</strong> theory and quality in research. This<br />
module will build on basic scholarship principles learned across previous<br />
core and optional modules for the Certificate/Diploma and prepare<br />
students for independent medical education research as part <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Masters. Core module at Masters level. (Closing date: 4 October 2013)<br />
curriculum planning<br />
Monday 27 th – Friday 31 st January 2014<br />
This module provides you with theoretical and empirical bases for<br />
planning and designing curricula for smaller educational units such as<br />
modules or courses (e.g. a workshop, a module for undergraduates,<br />
final year clinical rotations), or larger programmes (e.g. undergraduate<br />
programmes/postgraduate training programmes). Therefore, it will be<br />
helpful for health pr<strong>of</strong>essional educators who are involved in course<br />
development at various levels. You do not need to have previous<br />
knowledge or experience in curriculum development to take part in this<br />
module. Core module at Diploma level. (Closing date: 25 October 2013)<br />
