Learning Outcomes and Assessment in UK Higher Education

Identifying Opportunities for Business Practice with Emerging Technologies

All modules in UK Higher Education have learning outcomes that you will study towards and then demonstrate you have met them. In order to do this, you will draw on many factors such as:

• your prior learning and experience
• the module learning units and task
• your wider reading, reflection (and possibly practice)
• and, also the expertise of your tutors and other students.

In most modules, it will be clear exactly which of these learning outcomes is assessed in which of the assessments you have to submit and pass.
On successful completion of this learning, and this module, you will be able to:

1. Identify areas of business practice with opportunities to benefit from emerging technologies.

2. critically analyse opportunities for strategic change in response to, or in anticipation of, emerging technologies.

3. identify and develop a business plan to address a specific area of business operation in relation to emerging technologies. 

Students will be required to engage in an online discussion where each student will be individually assessed. You will be given a scenario and a set of questions. Your answers to those questions should be supported by the academic or industrial literature. You will demonstrate the basic research linked with the business and emerging technologies. There is expected to be clear theoretical underpinning and application to develop the comprehensive information.
