This is an innovative distance learning course on evidence-based practice. It is delivered via WebCT course software. This module can be studied as part of the University of Exeter Continuing Professional Development Award Scheme . The course will generally help students to develop their critical and analytical skills through interactive exercises, reflection, tutorials and the assignment.
Teaching is by distance education, delivered electronically.
There will be 5 units of study accessed through the Web and supported by readings. Each unit will involve approximately 9 hours work, including exercises using electronic resources. There will be two electronic group tutorials. The tutorials are conducted by e-mail with responses and tutor comments being posted on the course web pages. Dates by which tutorial responses are expected to be sent to us are given to students but they can work on their responses in their own time, usually over a minimum of a one week period.
