FLEX 30
About FLEX 30
This module provides participants with an opportunity to take a practice-based approach to their professional development by choosing to focus their assignment around one of the module’s five themes, or on a topic of their choice agreed with the module tutor.
The themes align with our institution-wide ‘Road to 2030’ strategy, its education strategy and the internationalisation strategy currently under development (Manchester Met, 2022).
Participants select one or more themes appropriate to their professional role, undertake CPD activities in relation to that theme, including engaging with the materials provided and then produce a Written Critical Reflection about these thematic activities for the assessment. Those participants who wish to work on a combination of themes or a topic of their own devising are very welcome to do so, following a discussion with the module tutor.
The themes are:
- Awarding gaps
- Assessment and feedback
- Inclusive practice
- Carbon literacy
- Education for sustainable development
-
Module Learning Outcomes

Module Assessment
The assignment for this module is a 3000-word written critical reflection. Participants can exceed the word limit by 500 words, but assignments over 3500 words are likely to be self-penalising.
