Module design

Workshop 1 | Exploring curriculum as a social practice: Designing aims | Workshop 1 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: Designing ILOs and assessment | Workshop 2 will briefly introduce key curriculum design frameworks 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 as a social construct.

Workshop 3 | Crafting curriculum: Designing learning activities | Workshop 3 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 module design.

Workshop 4 | Critiquing curriculum: Evaluating curriculum design | Workshop 4 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 critically reflect on real curriculum designs and have a go at designing our own curriculum evaluation instrument(s).
