Our curriculum design programme (2008-2012) explored how technology can give universities the cutting edge in curriculum design practices and processes.
The 12 projects in the programme put technology to the test across the wide spectrum of curriculum design activities; from market research and course development to resource allocation, quality assurance and information management.
Our briefing paper and the projects’ own institutional stories document the outcomes of these curriculum initiatives which ranged from streamlining information systems to embedding cultural change with the help of user-friendly, reflective tools. This breadth of activity has been captured in our curriculum lifecycle model and reflected in the wide variety of practical, hands-on resources produced by the project teams for sharing with the sector (accessible from the projects’ individual pages).
For wider information on the programme, see our curriculum design programme final synthesis report and our archived page listing the projects funded. You may also be interested in our learning in a digital age publication which features examples of curriculum design that is more responsive the needs of mature learners.
