Reed Learning Reviews

This was so helpful, thank you for all your help.

Enjoyed the interactive session and the engagement across the group. Useful examples and learnings from other members of the session.

Excellent experience, very professional and supportive team from WM

Overall Lorraine was patient and engaging. Thoroughly enjoyed this session!

Thanks Lorraine - great session - you have incredible stamina! I'm off now to look at the Hays website to see how much I should be earning! I'm now thinking I should be less intrinsic and more extrinsic. Ha ha!

Dianne was very engaging and knowledgeable and she really broke down the content into digestible chunks.

Dianne did great at designing the study guide and delivering the workshop.

Really good sessions from both Amanda and Lorraine, very informative and helpful for pulling the assignment together. Thank you

I always enjoy Lorraine's insight on the subject matter. She is very clear, concise and opened to students' questions throughout the workshop. Lorraine conducts workshops in a friendly manner and include all parties into the conversation, challenging us all to use our critical analysis/thinking.

I have been in Further Education for 20-years and along with my own teaching delivering to thousands of candidates I also have experience of the asynchronous teaching provided by the Open University. I was disappointed by the lack of ability for WM to offer a blended, asynchronous learning experience. I understand that you are restricted by the CIPD in the course content. However, the provision, for each module, was inconsistent in content, links did not work, there were materials uploaded onto the platform that did not conform to copyright regulations for education. The lack of a lectures (recorded would have been sufficient) to provide an overview of the module was unacceptable. Therefore, you do not have a ‘VLE’ you merely have an online depository of (in some instances) outdated material and static materials. Your platform lacks development and is void of activities that encourage engagement, there is no ability to interact with other candidates on the course. In addition, there is a lack of credible formative assessment activities designed to provide feedback. Learning platforms, even of the most basic subscription, can allow for excellent teaching and learning tools that work well for adult learners. It allows for staff and candidates to monitor progress, understanding and allow interaction with others on the course. This is especially useful to encourage critical thinking and support research on key topics such as those in our assignments. My tutor was valuable and would encourage me to proceed with completing my assignments but did not signpost materials and activities on the platform - when I checked this was due, in my opinion, to the material being irrelevant. The only workshops were the two pre-exam sessions per exam. (The only webinar was that provided by CIPD on exam expectations). Therefore, the only time we were encouraged to meet fellow students was prior to the exams.
