Teaching / learning strategy arrow_forward The programme is focused on the development of both theoretical and practical auditing skills, and aims to engage students in analysis, research and discussion of real life issues. The teaching and learning strategy aims to embed these attributes. This work based module adopts a blended approach to learning which combines face to face contact and online learning via GCU's virtual learning environment, GCU Learn. The teaching and learning strategy encourages an active and self-directed approach to learning. In the context of a work based ethos, teaching and learning methods use real world and real work scenarios to promote action learning, inquiry based learning, problem based learning and peer learning. These methods include lectures, seminars, online directed learning packages (power point presentations/study guides/videos), podcasts and discussion boards. These approaches will be used to directly involve the students in the process of learning and to encourage collaborative learning amongst students. Learners will be supported during the module by the module team which includes module tutors, work based mentors and Academic Development Tutors. Module tutors act as facilitators and also determine the level and accuracy of knowledge acquisition at key points in the delivery. Additionally, input, when necessary, either directly or with the support of external experts will add to the authenticity, credibility and application of education and learning to the workplace. Work based mentors provide a full spectrum of workplace support helping apprentices to identify relevant work activity that can operate as a source for work-integrated learning, advise on the development of work-based projects, provide feedback on the development of professional competence, and formatively comment on progress in achieving negotiated work-integrated learning objectives. Academic Development Tutors will provide support to help maximise students' potential in relation to academic writing, referencing and the development of effective st
