Knowledge creation and the deployment of new knowledge in the workplace have given rise to the aerospace itself being recognized as a site of learning and knowledge production. This concept is an integral feature of the ‘knowledge economy’ and the growing intellectual capital of businesses has the potential to erode awarding bodies as being the dominant force in knowledge creation. If HE is to continue to make a contribution to the knowledge economy, collaborative activities based in and around the workplace should be considered (Brenna, 2005).
The challenge for global businesses is to compete on the basis of unique value. This will necessitate investments in new products, processes or services and in new ways f doing business. Measures to develop the enterprise skills and creativity of the workforce are likely to be a prerequisite. The speed of technological change and market responses demand a continuous drive to innovate. Work based has a key role to play in supporting businesses to innovate. Aim: A significant amount of learning can be achieved by carrying out practical activities in a workplace.
Learning may be enhanced by taking a more formal approach to work-based activities – by planning, carrying out the activities and reflecting on the benefits of the activities to the business and to the learner. This unit is designed to allow flexibility of study for part-time and full-time students. It is expected that learners will be supervised in the workplace in addition to their academic supervisor. Learners will have the opportunity, supported by their supervisors, to negotiate and perform activities which will allow them to fulfill the assessment criteria for this unit.
They will recognize the scope of what they have achieved by recording evidence from carrying out the activities. They will also gain maximum benefit by reflection on and evaluation of the work they undertake Learning Outcomes and assessment criteria: On successful completion of this unit a learner will: 1 Be able to negotiate industry experience 2 Understand the specific requirements of the placement 3 Be able to undertake work experience as identified 4 Be able to monitor and evaluate own performance and learning Indicative content: 1 .

Teaching and Learning Activities The module tutor(s) will aim to combine lectures with tutorial activities. This environment will provide opportunities for the student to understand the course material through case study and text and to apply it in a practical way. The intent is to facilitate interactive class activities, and discussion about the significant role of research in a global and local business environment. 2. 3 Teaching Ethos The college’s approach towards teaching and learning is simple and effective. The main aim of CUBIC is to assist learners in maximizing their potential by ensuring that they are taught clearly and effectively.
This will enable students to engage in the learning environment and promote SUccess in both their academic studies and subsequent career. 2. 3. 1 Methods of Delivery: LECTURES: These will be developed around the key concepts as mentioned in the indicative course content and will use a range of live examples and cases from business practice to demonstrate the application of theoretical concepts. This method is primarily used to identify and explain key aspects of the subject so that learners an utilities their private study time more effectively. SEMINARS: These are in addition to the lectures. The seminars are designed to give learners the opportunity to test their understanding of the material covered in the lectures and private study with the help of reference books.
This methodology usually carries a set of questions identified in advance. Seminars are interactive sessions led by the learners. This method of study gives the learner an excellent opportunity to clarify any points of difficulty with the tutor and simultaneously develop their oral communication skills. CASE STUDIES: An important learning methodology is the extensive use of case studies. They enable learners to apply the concepts that they learn in their subjects. The learners have to study the case, analyses the facts presented and arrive at conclusions and recommendations. This assists in the assessment of the learner’s ability to apply to the real world the tools and techniques of analysis which they have learnt.
The case study serves as a supplement to the theoretical knowledge imparted through the course work. Plagiarism: Any act of plagiarism will be seriously dealt with according to the colleges ND awarding bodies’ regulations. In this context the definition and scope of plagiarism are presented below: Plagiarism is presenting someone’s work as your won.
