Introduction

A toolkit is a document or an interactive online resource that helps users gather, organise, and apply information on a specific topic to draw conclusions or make recommendations.

For your assignment, complete this toolkit and upload the final document to Canvas by the submission deadline. To answer each section, find evidence related to each area to support your responses.

Use the suggested word-count as a guide for each section and note the weightings relating to the overall final mark. All the elements of this toolkit will be covered throughout the lectures and seminar sessions. Please refer to the Panopto recordings for each session and the assignment vodcast.
