The University of South Wales has responded to the COVID-19 situation with the development and of a pan-university set of principles and an underlying framework for implementation called DEAL – Digitally Enabled Active Learning. DEAL calls for building social learning communities, enquiry over instruction, inclusivity and accessibility, high quality interactions and learning that is visible and active.
The School of Applied Science have taken ownership of facilitating and ensuring a consistent approach to module and course delivery which meets DEAL by developing a template within the VLE that guides both staff and learners through the DEAL journey.
