12 PROFESSIONAL CERTIFICATE IN OMBUDSMAN AND COMPLAINT HANDLING PRACTICE Course Learning Experiences Course learning experiences include lectures, case studies, workshops, directed study, DVDs, practical exercises, role play exercises, group exercises, quizzes and structured discussions. The Hub, QMU s Virtual Learning Environment (VLE), will enable course participants to remotely access course materials, useful websites and publications. This provides a very useful set of educational tools to facilitate learning, communication, collaboration and assessment. These tools include an assignment drop box and the ability to display course materials for students. The platform can be used to share student outputs such as information about colleagues roles and experience and these become a useful resource for learning and knowledge exchange. Professional Certificate Pre-Course Work Course participants each prepare a 500 word summary on their scheme/their complaint handling experience to date - to be submitted in advance and shared with other course participants. There is also some pre-course reading. Professional Certificate Post-Course Work The Professional Certificate in Ombudsman and Complaint Handling Practice is assessed by a post-course 3,000 word assignment. Within the framework of the learning outcomes set out for each day of the course, participants will produce an essay or report on a subject relevant to their interests and connected to their own work. The aim of the assignment is to provide participants with an opportunity to demonstrate their competence in the application of learning from the Professional Certificate course. Participants will do this through a combination of the learning experiences from the course, their own experience and guided research support from the course tutors. Participants have an eight-week period during which to complete and submit the assignment. Tutor support is available during this period. Tutors will assist participants with their selection of appropriate topics and help them to frame the learning outcomes for their assignment. They will also help participants to decide on the suitability of their topic for a report or essay and offer further guidance as they progress their assignments to completion. Guidance on the use of our electronic and other library resources is available from the School liaison librarian. There is a section of our library resources dedicated to Ombudsman and Complaint Handling. QMU also has an Effective Learning Service to assist colleagues with various study skills such as active reading, critical thinking, making effective notes, planning and writing essays, writing and structuring assignments. All documents are accessible online. 11
