While not all modules or programmes can be taught fully online, an underlying principle of the framework is that all modules can adopt technology to benefit some aspect of the learning, teaching and assessment experience. This could involve the use of technology to:

• free up time for face-to-face contact
• allow students to study at times which are most conducive to their learning
• provide opportunities for self-testing to reinforce factual knowledge
• facilitate the collection of and feedback on assignments
• encourage peer support and greater participation from all students
• enable effective learning within and across different groups of learners, in learning from guest experts, and engaging with relevant professional groups
• foster the development of key skills and attributes including collaborative skill, autonomous learning ability, and digital literacy.
