Identify and discuss barriers that can hinder socially engaged practice in museums and galleries and suggest some ways ofovercoming them



Teaching and Learning MethodsLectures (80 hours): Lectures and other types of teaching sessions will be typically delivered online through recordings,discussion, learning activities, and readings. All of the lectures and activities will be framed through an online study guide. Thetime allotted to Lectures’ covers the time it would take to work through the study guide sessions, activities and discussions. Seminars (4 hours): This module builds in time for students to prepare for and engage in two online seminars. These are livesessions delivered online. While the content is core, there is flexibility in how these seminars are delivered to accommodatefor diverse student circumstances and time zones. Alternative material (transcripts, recorded session, reading and activities)will be available to all students, so those who are unable to attend can still access these seminars in an asynchronous way. Tutorials (4 hours): Students are expected to build a relationship with their Module Tutor during the course of this module, viaemail and/or skype. Their Module Tutor can advise them on their module work and the planning, preparation and presentationof their assignment. Time for 2-3 tutorials is built in to the module. Fieldwork (8 hours): This captures the time students will be expected to visit museums, galleries and other relevant sites inthe field in response to the tasks and activities in the study guide. There will be 2-3 self-directed study visits as part of thismodule. Guided independent study (129 hours): This captures independent reading from the reading lists and assignment preparationtime.

Assessment MethodsThere are three assignments for this module. The first two assignments are weighted lower than the final assignment toaccount for students who may be adjusting to study. 1. Self-reflective statement, 800-1000 words or c.5 minute audio or video (15%)This assignment is designed for students to demonstrate ILO2.2. Participation in discussion (5%) This assessment supports students towards achieving both ILO2 and ILO4. 3.
