Learning Outcomes
.
Details of Learning Activities
This course is co-delivered with BUSM6241C Plan and Manage Conferences and EMPL5627C Ensure Team Effectiveness. Learners will use the work environment of the Virtual Enterprise and the context of the planning and conduct of the conference to take minutes. Learners will conduct and manage those administrative tasks to provide agendas and meeting materials relating to the conference. They will also conduct and chair such meetings taking the chairperson role in rotation in sub-committee format or in the full committee forum. Using theory, students will apply sound meeting practice.
Some learning activities will include a self-directed learning approach. Self-directed learning refers to organised teacher-directed learning activities that you will undertake independently, either as individuals or with other students. This may include workplace research, library assignments, field work and work placements.
