Who needs to be involved in curriculum review?<\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

The short answer is everyone who will be impacted by any changes to the curriculum.<\/span><\/p>\n

Staff<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Curriculum Framework is very much focused at the programme-level in order to transcend the compartmentalised nature of modular teaching, learning and assessment. As a result, students should be better able to make meaningful connections between modules, and demonstrate progress towards achievement of the programme outcomes. This necessitates a coherent, coordinated and structured approach to programme design.<\/p>\n

Does the design of the programme make sense? Do modules have a sense of how they follow on from one another? (Paul Ashwin as quoted by Ratcliffe, R., 2015).\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>\"Securing the involvement and commitment of a critical mass of colleagues\" (D<\/span>rummond et al., 1999, p38)<\/u>\u00a0is vital for effective curriculum change. Academic leaders therefore have a crucial role in fostering a collaborative environment where all staff are given the opportunity to shape the curriculum that ultimately they will be required to implement.<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Heads of School and School Directors of Teaching and Learning have a critical role to play in leading and 'sponsoring' the review, whereas the planning, leadership and co-ordination of the day-to-day management of the review is likely to be delegated to Curriculum Framework Leads and Programme Directors.<\/span><\/p>\n

Students<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

As the ultimate 'end-users', students also have a strong stake in the curriculum. The Higher Education Academy report by Healey, Flint and Harrington (2014) makes a strong case for moving beyond feedback from students, to actively involving students as partners in shaping curriculum and assessment design. For case studies on programme-level approaches to co-creating curricula, see chapter 4 in Cook-Sather, Bovill and Felten (2014).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
