Learning
Face to face learning
Located
Learning
A specific and single location for a group is required/chosen to undertake the activities, meaning activities take place withing campus learning spaces
Connected
Learning
Learning may be in formal or informal university learning spaces, and also therefore supports those unable to access the university; the key being that not all students are in the same location.  There is frequently the use of technological means to connect individuals and groups and may take advantage of both formal learning rooms as well as social/informal learning spaces.
Fieldwork
Pedagogy
Learning undertaken in an alternative context, location or environment from the university campus-focused learning spaces.
Lecture 
Pedagogy
A lecture is usually an oral presentation intended to present information to teach students about a particular subject.  Lectures are used to convey critical information, history, background, theories and equations
Practical 
pedagogy
Learning opportunities relating to putting theory and research into practice
Seminar
Pedagogy
A seminar is a form of academic instruction which has the function of bringing together small groups for recurring meetings, focusing each time on some particular subject, in which everyone present is requested to participate.  This is often accomplished through an ongoing socratic dialogue with a seminar leader or instructor, or through a more formal presentation of research.  It is essentially a place where assigned readings are discussed, questions can be raised and debates can be conducted.
Supported study
pedagogy
Activities where a trainee conducts research or another identified activity either on their own and/or with tutor support (face-to-face or otherwise)
Tutorial
Pedagogy
A tutorial is a small class of one, or only a few students, in which the tutor, a lecturer, or other academic staff member, gives additional individual attention to the students.  More interactive and specif than a lecture, a tutorial seeks to teach by example and supply the information to complete a certain task.
Webinar
Pedagogy
A web-based learning or training activity, usually interactive, for example, a workshop or seminar.  Webinars take place synchronously online using video conferencing software, with participants taking part remotely.  Webinars may be recorded and made available as a video to complete a certain task.
Work-based learning
Pedagogy
Learning achieved by undertaking activities, under supervision and mentoring, in a work context.  Learning concepts and techniques associated with a particular profession or trade in working environment, while being monitored and supported by a tutor.
Workshop
Pedagogy
A training workshop is a type of interactive training where participants carry out a number of training activities rather than passively listen to a lecture or presentation.  Broadly, two types of workshops exist: a general workshop is put on for a mixed audience, and a closed workshop is tailored towards meeting the training needs of a specific group.
