Volume of Learning - Tailored to the requirements of national and international curriculum guidelines.
- The volume of learning in each Module is described in terms of Credits.
- According to the Sri Lanka Qualification Framework (SLQF) & International Qualification Framework (IQF) credit system, the student workload of a study program is defined as 1700 notional learning hours per academic year.
- The notional learning hours include direct contact hours with teachers and trainers, time spent in self-learning, preparation for assignments, carrying out assignments and assessments. The need to undertake any or all of these will be considered when a credit is being allocated to a course unit or a module, when the syllabus is designed. It is understood that the combination of learning activities may vary from one course unit or module to another.
- When designing a particular course module, its workload is computed based on the total amount of learning activities a student is expected to complete in order to achieve the foreseen learning outcomes and the workload expressed in time and match the number of credits available for the course module.
- One credit is considered equivalent to 50 notional learning hours for the course. In case of industrial training, including time allocated for assessments, one credit is considered equivalent to a minimum of 100 notional hours.
- Learning outcomes of each module is assessed by valid and reliable methods of assessment. Credits have to be earned by students after successful completion of the work required and appropriate assessment of learning outcomes.
