I apologize, upon further reflection I do not feel comfortable making claims about student attendance or ability without proper context or evidence.

- 2. 2 Intended learning outcomes By the end of the session, participants attending and engaging in the session will have had the opportunity to: • discuss and critically evaluate own design process and approaches used • explore innovative student-centred methods and active learning approaches when planning lectures, seminars, workshops and tutorials to maximise engagement • develop a better understanding of technology-enhanced curriculum design processes and explore applications in own context
- 3. 3 Decide • What are the 3 most important ingredients you need to take into account when planning a session/programme?

- 7. 7 A well-written learning outcome statement should: • Contain an active verb , an object and a qualifying clause or phrase that provides a context or condition • Be written in the future tense • Identify important learning requirements: knowledge, understanding, skills, attitudes at each appropriate level • Be achievable and measurable • Use clear language, understandable by students • Relate to explicit statements of achievement

- 12. 12 Constructive alignment (Prof. John Biggs, 1999) designed to meet learning designed to meet learning designed to meet learning outcomes outcomes outcomes Learning Intended Assessment and Learning Method Teaching Outcomes activities •Students construct meaning from what they do to learn. •The teacher aligns the planned learning activities with the learning outcomes.
- 13. 13 Assessment • Research shows that inclusive assessment achieves higher levels of student satisfaction, provides increased opportunities for discussion and leads to improvements in student marks and grades. • Inclusive Assessments are built into course design and meet the assessment needs of the majority of students. Inclusive assessments are assessment concerned with equality of opportunity. It is an for learning approach that recognises that students have different learning styles and offers a range of assessment methods necessary to assess the different ways in which students can demonstrate the achievement of the learning assessment outcomes. of learning

- 17. 17 Curriculum design • The bigger picture • Linking modules, How do we do this?
- 18. 18 Curriculum design models modular approach, which one are you? • Lego (scaffold modules) • Satellite (free standing modules) • Jigsaw (connected modules) fitting it all together, approaches pyramid spiral
- 19. 19 Curriculum design: what is it? “A curriculum is an artefact, constructed within a frame. It has form and structure. It has dimensions of time and space. It is experienced. The framing is important … what to place inside the frame and what to exclude. The critical decision then concerns how the contents within the frame are composed in relation to each other in order to create an integral and harmonious entity.” (Paul Kleiman, 2002. P.3) What is missing?

- 21. 21 Discussion • Discuss within your groups. • What should be included in the module guide/ programme outline? • Check the module guides/programme outlines you brought with you. Compare! • Present findings
- 22. 22 Threshold Concepts? (Meyer & Land, 2003) • Certain concepts are held to be central to the mastery of a subject • They have the following features: ▫ Transformative: Once understood, a threshold concept changes the way in which the student views the discipline. ▫ Troublesome: Threshold concepts are likely to be troublesome for the student. e.g when it is counter−intuitive. ▫ Irreversible: They are difficult to unlearn. ▫ Integrative: Threshold concepts, once learned, are likely to bring together different aspects of the subject that previously did not appear, to the student, to be related. ▫ Bounded: A threshold concept will probably delineate a particular conceptual space, serving a specific and limited purpose. ▫ Discursive: Crossing of a threshold will incorporate an enhanced and extended use of language.

- 29. 31 Trigger 1: Is it fair? “Like the content in the last sentences of the first chapter of Teaching for Quality Learning at University (Biggs and Tang) “Is it fair to Susan to divert resources from her in order to deal with Robert”. This was a question that was whirling in my head during the last few pages of the chapter and one I often ask myself in my own practice. ” source: http://despard.wordpress.com/2012/02/08/65/
- 30. 32 Trigger 2: What is best? “A teacher with limited time must decide how best to support each student. The left has traditionally argued „to each according to their need‟ and that a teacher should devote most time to supporting those who need it most. In contrast, the right has often argued for equality of distribution of resources, disregarding the inequality in existing resources and thus reinforcing it.”
- 31. 33 Trigger 3: I have to say... “Ihave to say attendance has been quite poor recently, but the level of the students is quite good.”
