Introduction to Curriculum Design workshop series.

Are you interested in learning how to design modules that will support your students’ success in the current, rapidly changing, world?

If you are and have little or no design experience within the higher education context, this series might be for you.

(This series is also relevant to all who participated in 23/24 Cultivate Intro to Curriculum Design seminars).

What is it?

Introduction to curriculum design in higher education is a series of four 90-min in person workshops aiming to introduce curriculum design as a crucial and complex social practice operating within and beyond dynamic higher education contexts.

Workshop 1,Exploring curriculum as a social practice: Aims, will briefly introduce the concept of curriculum design as a social practice and how it impacts our understanding of module aims. This will be followed by designing our own module aims (real or imagined - depending on your context).

Workshop 2, Re-imagining curriculum: ILOs and assessment, will briefly introduce Warwick Curriculum Dimensions framework and invite you to consider how they might impact your module's ILOs and assessment. This will be followed by designing your own ILOs and assessment aligned with the selected framework(s) and underpinned by the understanding of curriculum a social construct.

Workshop 3, Crafting curriculum: Waving curriculum, will briefly introduce an innovative curriculum design framework (waving curriculum) reported to support cumulative knowledge-building and knowledge transfer, as well as inclusive teaching. This will be followed by having a go at your own waving session/module design.

Seminar 4, Critiquing curriculum: Evaluation, will look at ways in which to critically engage with curriculum designs (either our own or those designed by others). In this final workshop we will critique a module/session level design(s) and perhaps have a go at designing our own curriculum critique instrument(s).

The sessions will be led by Jo Kukuczka from the Academic Development Centre.

You are welcome to attend all or just some of the workshops, and there is no preparation required. Certificates of attendance will be issued upon request.

**Please note, registration will close 48 hours prior to each workshop - or when full workshop capacity is reached. **

Who is it for?

The workshops are open to Warwick teaching staff and curriculum design support staff who have an interest, but little or no experience in curriculum design at a module level.
