Course summary
"The Level 5 units give students the opportunity to specialise in a digital-technology- related occupational area and to progress to degree-level study. The units prepare students to move on to specific areas of digital technologies at Level 6 or to enter employment with the qualities and abilities necessary for roles that require personal responsibility and decision making. Students will be able to develop and apply their own ideas to their studies, to deal with uncertainty and complexity, to explore solutions, demonstrate critical evaluation and use both theory and practice in a wide range of digital technology situations. After studying a Level 5 Higher National Diploma in Digital Technologies students will have a sound understanding of the principles in their area of specialist study and will know how to apply those principles more widely in the area of digital technologies. They will be able to perform effectively in their specialist area."

Assessment method
"Guided learning hours These are the hours where a tutor is present to give specific guidance towards the learning aim being studied. Guided learning hours include lectures, tutorials and supervised study in, for example, open learning centres and learning workshops. They also include supervised assessment activities such as invigilated exams, observed assessments and observed work-based practice. ● The total guided learning hours for Higher National Certificate (HNC) = 480 hours. ● The total guided learning hours for Higher National Diploma (HND) = 960 hours. Some examples of activities that can contribute to guided learning include: ● classroom-based learning supervised by a tutor ● work-based learning supervised by a tutor ● a live webinar or telephone tutorial with a tutor ● live e-learning supervised by a tutor, and ● all forms of assessment guided or supervised at the time by a tutor or other education or training provider. This includes where the assessment is competence- based and turned into a learning opportunity. Independent learning hours These are the hours where a student is learning without the direct guidance of a member of centre staff. They are critical to the student’s ability to develop knowledge and skills, as well as providing them with the opportunity to develop key transferrable skills such as self-discipline, time management and self-motivation. Some examples of activities that can contribute to independent learning include: ● self-directed research and investigation ● reading set texts or other sources of information ● watching subject-related videos as part of investigation and research ● reviewing recordings of scheduled sessions or notes from those sessions ● peer activities, such as group meetings and online discussions, where students explore their learning together, and ● reviewing and recording thoughts on their own learning. ● The total independent learning hours for Higher National Certificate (HNC) = 720. ● The total independent learning hours for Higher National Diploma (HND) = 1,440."
