  1. learning and preparation activities to familiarise students with the key themes and concepts of the topic to ensure that that students achieve an essential level of understanding;
  2. a workshop where the key themes and concepts of each module are explored in greater depth and students participate in small group discussions; and
  3. a post-class forum activity where students apply and reflect upon their learning by responding to a real-world task.

The key feature of learning at the postgraduate level is that students take active responsibility for their learning.
