  2. E-journal reflecting on the dialogue with a peer in a different international setting (50%).

Criteria for evaluation of the multi-media presentation are agreed between tutor and student(s) in order to ensure relevance to the purpose and target audience, which may include peers in a work setting and/or student peers. Results of this evaluation, the presentation and the e-journal are tutor assessed for a CAS mark against the learning outcomes for the course. NB The BA Hons Community Learning and Development is a vocational programme approved from 2010-2015 as meeting the professional requirements of the Community Learning and Development Standards Council for Scotland. As such all practice elements must pass for the candidate to obtain a CAS grade for any course
