Description of Session

A two or three line summary, so that an outsider reading it could get the gist of the unit immediately. Include such things as:

• Domain e.g. English literature, Statistics, Woodwork, Mechanical engineering
• Topic (content) e.g. Jane Eyre, normal distribution, mitre joints, beam deflection
• Level of study e.g. HE, FE, Continuing professional development (CPD), Vocational education, Community education
• Mode of delivery and how learners will engage with the material e.g. mode = face-to-face and/or distance; engagement = self-paced / cohort learning / tutor-led / autonomous

Not wholly clear what "cohort learning" means -- classroom, perhaps?
