We support colleges and universities to deliver educational excellence through staff development, curriculum design, digital learning and impactful projects
Curriculum innovation and transformation
Higher Education is undergoing unprecedented changes, with significant strategic curriculum and pedagogic initiatives taking place in every university, often in a condensed timeframe. Face-to-face, blended, and online provision are all experiencing change. We can support you with course design and the development of new provision.
This work can be targeted at an individual course right through to include all undergraduate and/or postgraduate taught provision across an institution. Facilitating the process involves bringing colleagues together, with advice, input and support, so teams can concentrate on the critical issues of designing and developing distinctive courses to achieve change and student success.
We have experience in multiple approaches linked to curriculum design with a focus on holistic design to help ensure an impactful student learning experience.
