Session information
Webinar Title	Curriculum Design: changing the paradigm
Abstract	This webinar explores emerging outcomes from the JISC Institutional Approaches to Curriculum Design programme, an ambitious  intervention in one of the core practices of academic life. In the three years since its inception, the programme has seen radical, systemic change at some of the 12 participating institutions, and subtle, embedded change at others. Despite very different emphases, from managing course information to embedding new graduate attributes, evidence is emerging that joined-up thinking across the curriculum lifecycle can enhance processes, engage stakeholders, and generate more relevant learning opportunities.
Presenters	Sarah Knight, Programme Manager, e-Learning, JISC Helen Beetham, e-Learning consultant Marianne Sheppard, Researcher/Analyst, JISC InfoNet
What will you learn or take away?	Key lessons that participants will be able to apply in their own contexts will include: benefits of a joined-up approach to managing course information approaches to embedding 'new' graduate attributes pointers for engaging stakeholders in the curriculum
Who is this webinar aimed at?	This webinar is aimed at everyone with strategic responsibility for curriculum design and development, from curriculum teams through curriculum managers to senior managers in the areas of learning and teaching/education/curriculum development. Those with responsibility for curriculum processes such as approval, course information management, and portfolio development will also be interested.

Important information for participants

• Webinars will be run using the Blackboard Collaborate software platform, provided and supported by JISC Netskills
• Participants will need to have the latest version of Java installed on their PC/Laptop - check settings here: http://tinyurl.com/6bacwu4
• You will need a headset (headphones and microphone) to listen to and talk in the session. Don't use built-in microphones or speakers (built into laptops or webcams)  as this creates echoing, feedback and will spoil the session for others.
• Download a participant's guide to Blackboard Collaborate
• In some instances you may experience firewall/proxy issues which need to be changed and they are often controlled by the local IT Administrator.  If you have these issues, please read the proxy set up guide and information on firewall errors. 
  There is also a self-diagnosis page which gives guidance on how to solve such issues.
