Curriculum Design Workshops for Course Teams
Wed, 30 Nov 2016 02:00:00 GMT
Are you wanting to improve an aspect of your curriculum? Are you stuck for ideas about how to address one of the following areas?
- employability
- retention
- attainment
A series of D4 Workshops have been designed to help Course Teams develop these aspects of the curriculum. The workshops are designed around an Appreciative Inquiry model of change management which frames change in a positive way using a four stage process: Discover, Dream, Design, and Deliver (Fifolt & Lander 2013).
All D4 Workshops have a time efficient starting point for the discussion, providing teams with tools to use as part of the ongoing process of curriculum review. They help to stimulate discussions amongst the course team in order to identify and address issues many of which are cross curricula. They are:
- positively framed based on the appreciative inquiry approach
- practical and experiential being focused on four tasks relating to the discover, dream, design and deliver stages of the appreciative inquiry model;
- action-orientated - the ‘Deliver’ stage is about action planning.
