<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe resource is designed to accommodate different learning styles and institutional needs. While learners can complete the course independently, it delivers maximum benefit when integrated into taught courses with opportunities for reflection and peer discussion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Because the resource is self-contained, it can be used by educators from diverse backgrounds across a variety of subject areas. The content can be extended to suit different disciplines through classroom-based activities and discussions<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An Open Education Resource<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
An external version of the course<\/a> that is hosted on Canvas.\u00a0Any individual can access the course on Canvas, but no data will be saved other than viewing numbers. If educators would like to embed the course in their own LMS, then they can email\u00a0edtech@mtu.ie<\/a>\u00a0 to request the SCORM files that can be adapted for their own context.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All the resources have been published on the HEA National Forum for the Enhancement of Teaching and Learning including the following videos:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
