Learning concept of the Distance Learning Programme
HIGH PRACTICAL RELEVANCE | INNOVATIVE DISTANCE LEARNING | INDIVIDUAL AND COMPETENT STUDENT SUPPORT | NO PHYSICAL PRESENCE
The learning concept of MSc Body Psychology and Body Psychotherapy is characterised by a high level of practice-relevant content as well as innovative teaching and learning methods. Its design as a pure distance learning course means that it is optimally focused on the needs of the target group.
The combination of guided self-study, individual student support and e-learning units offers students the possibility of learning independent of time and place, oriented to their own professional requirements and needs.
The use of modern e-learning modules guarantees students interactive learning as well as clear presentation and discussion of abstract content. Interactive Webinars and discussions in virtual space promote the integration of theoretical principles and methods into professional practice. The use of a Virtual Tutorial in the form of an online learning platform enables flexible and network-like knowledge transfer, which can be optimally varied and adapted according to individual learning needs and progress.
The provision of recordings as well as all learning material in electronic form facilitates knowledge management and asynchronous learning for students in a learning group with different professional conditions and freedom. In addition, this means simpler and time- and location-independent documentation and repetition of teaching content.
Overview of the Teaching Concept
Guided self-study
In contrast to a study programme with attendance or complete self-study (also: individual study), guided self-study specifies the learning content. As with individual study, teachers are not present, and the time and place of study can be freely chosen. The guided self-study, however, offers you a given thematic and temporal framework and concrete tasks, which are carried out in a self-determined learning process, but which have to be mastered in certain periods of time and in certain forms of learning and working. In addition, teachers and tutors are available to you as contact persons and to support the structuring of guided self-study. The teachers and tutors enable you to structure learning material independently in several ways, to compile suitable information and to use it for the respective requirements of your studies.
The MSc Body Psychology and Body Psychotherapy from University of East London and AIHE GmbH offers you a structured framework for a self-determined learning process. In order to achieve this, comprehensive teaching material and literature as well as study papers are made available in the “virtual tutorial” on a learning platform (more detailed description under „virtual tutorial“). In addition, there is thematic and methodological support from tutors, which can be used independent of time and place using common communication media.
Virtual Tutorial
The MSc Body Psychology and Body Psychotherapy of University of East London and AIHE GmbH uses the learning platform “Moodle” for the supervision of students as well as for the structuring of their studies and for the imparting of learning content, learning material and other study-relevant information. For questions about the content of each Module, they can use the Specialist Forums, which teachers and tutors answer within 48 hours on weekdays. Furthermore, Forums can be used for exchange and organisational issues can be discussed.
All study-relevant dates and deadlines are communicated via the Virtual Tutorial. Students will be informed of each new entry directly via e-mail. All teaching material such as Study Papers, Core Literature as well as web links and other study-relevant information such as the timeline for course planning, tasks, work instructions and literature recommendations are made available digitally via the Virtual Tutorial. The Virtual Tutorial also includes individual support by teachers and tutors via e-mail on specialist and administrative issues.
Individual telephone & video consultation
The MSc Body Psychology and Body Psychotherapy of University of East London and AIHE GmbH offers you the possibility of individual telephone or video consultation for the clarification and advice on professional and administrative study-related matters. You can discuss methodical and content-related questions or learning process-related matters with teachers and tutors in flexibly arranged appointments. If required, learning groups of several people can also make use of the advice of teachers and tutors in the form of a telephone or video conference.
Live online Seminar
During the programme MSc Body Psychology and Body Psychotherapy of University of East London and AIHE GmbH there are many online-seminars with various contents.
In general, an online-seminar is a seminar held via the internet which enables interaction and information exchange between teachers and learners. For the design and execution of the webinars in the Master’s Programme in Body Psychology and Body Psychotherapy, user-friendly software is used which offers a wide range of possibilities for information transfer and interaction. In the online-seminar, questions of contents will be deepened, discussed and applied live via video and audio, via file sharing, presentations, chat etc. The moderation is carried out by teachers and tutors.
Online presentations
The MSc Body Psychology and Body Psychotherapy of University of East London and AIHE GmbH uses Online Lectures on selected module content or other study-related content. These are organized via user-friendly software. Teachers and tutors explain the corresponding contents via video and audio. Students can attend the lectures live, ask questions and, in addition or as an alternative, view the Recorded Online Lectures via the Virtual Tutorial.
Recorded lectures
In our recorded online lectures, module content is explained in a lively manner and classified by the teaching staff. The recordings can be used as often as desired for repetition and consolidation. The additional provision of transcripts, and audio tracks also supports various forms of learning. Our international teaching staff inspires with competence and experience.
Exercises
As part of the MSc Body Psychology and Body Psychotherapy of University of East London and AIHE GmbH, students stabilize the acquired learning structures in exercises through multiple repetitions and in assessment free form. The exercises serve to consolidate the memory content. In addition to the training of the contents within online seminars or other study and examination achievements, the students practice the module contents by working through the online quiz portal, which we provide, among other things, as an APP or smartphone and tablet capable for on the go.
