Workload

We recommend that academics set aside a minimum of 150 hours over the course of 9 months to complete a 10-week module. This number of hours then scales up or down – if you are working on a 50% redevelopment, you should expect it to take 75 hours and if you are working on a 20-week module, you should expect it to take 300 hours.

Writing style

Please use second person when writing the materials and address the students as ‘you’. Try to strike a conversational, yet professional tone. It really helps if you are consistent throughout the module, but your academic editor will double check this as well.
