Approach to learning and assessment

Your learning will be facilitated via a range of in-class and online activities that will require both individual and collaborative engagement. Class activities promote your ability to enquire, investigate, analyse and solve fashion business problems.

There are three distinctive approaches to learning and teaching:

Flexible learning strategies: a range of online and interactive learning and teaching strategies that allow you to question, discuss and self-direct your own learning are provided, including flipped classroom learning.

Action learning: small groups or teams will work together to complete an assigned project. Action learning will allow you to collect, analyse data and make decisions on a specific issue with your group that may simulate a workplace experience.

Projects (assignments): case study scenarios, specific problems, real world applications of theory in practice, business simulations and research will form the basis of projects. This will be an opportunity for you to research and analyse an issue and apply the knowledge and skills you have been developing.

Assessment throughout the program is an integral part of your learning experience. Feedback from assessment will give you the opportunity to reflect upon your capabilities and identify opportunities for further learning.

The details of assessment in each course are listed within the Course Guides. Assessment will include:

• Assignments
• Projects
• Presentations

As part of final assessment moderation, a symposium is held each semester in which students present to external industry panels who provide formative feedback.

Work integrated learning

• Undertake and be assessed on structured activities that allow you to learn, apply and demonstrate your professional or vocational practice
• Interact with industry and community when undertaking these activities
• Complete these activities in real work contexts or situations

These interactions and the work contexts provide distinctive sources of feedback to you to assist your learning.

Any or all of these aspects of a WIL experience may be simulated in a workplace environment.

The integration of work-based learning and academic learning in this course will allow you to solve authentic workplace problems or address real issues faced in organisations.
