Using the computer we can enter deadlines for work to be handed in. The computer records any late entries. This is good for getting students to independently think about time and the consequences.
Very effective module in highlighting the and how to manage time effectively
It is difficult for some learners to self-manage.
A good highlight of the need for students to take responsibility for management of their own learning.
good unit
Really important for learners to manage their time and workload
Great stuff
Excellent tips about embedding autonomy and self-management into learners’ work routines. I did not know about MyStudyLife. It sounds like a helpful tool for learners: https://www.mystudylife.com/
For learners to take ownership of their learning it is key for them to understand what evidence they must demonstrate and how they have demonstrated it. They can learn so much by being encouraged to self-assess and peer-assess!
