Independent/Directed Study - Study Programme Hours

Yeah, can't see anything more than a register being needed. Auditors love a register :)

Thanks, that's great - just didn't want us to be solely reliant on registers if an auditor would expect us to evidence the work taking place in those sessions, for example! 

I mean, one could say the same about any lesson!!! ;)

Steve Hewitt Well, when you put it like that! I assume this session would need to be staffed and roomed?

All fundable hours must be Timetabled, Organised/Supervised by the Institution and Take Place During Normal Working Hours. ;)

I like the "/" in that statement :) thank you!

To quote verbatim:

98. Planned hours are those that are directly related to the student’s study programme
and that:
a. are timetabled, organised and/or supervised by the institution
b. take place in line with the institution’s normal working pattern

It's "and/or" so work experience can count because that's not "supervised"

And at that point, I feel the line starts to blur between independent study and homework.. so in my head, make sure it's genuinely integrated into timetables, a tutor is available to support during the time-slot where remote (or a room is allocated with a staff member present so that the study is directed rather than independent) and have a register to back it all up!

I agree with every word of this :)
