Transforming Curriculum Design and Curriculum Delivery through Technology
The Curriculum Design and Delivery programmes represent one of the biggest undertakings yet delivered under the JISC e-Learning Programme. Together they represent an investment of £8m over a four year period with the Curriculum Design projects running for 4 years (2008-2012) and the Curriculum Delivery projects for 2 years (2008-2010).
What is the Design Studio? The Design Studio is a dynamic web-based toolkit which draws together a range of existing and developing resources around curriculum design and delivery and the role technology plays in supporting these processes and practices. The studio will provide access to project outcomes and outputs as they are developed and will continue to be sustained as a community resource after the programmes end. 
A curriculum lifecycle concept provides a structure for this wiki-based resource and the primary portal to materials whilst tagging will provide flexible entry levels to information based on e.g. themes, technologies and subject areas. The resource will initially offer a blend of publicly-accessible resources as well as private spaces to allow projects to work in a developmental and collaborative environment. As project resources are refined, they will be released to the public space. Potential users from the wider further and higher education community will be members of curriculum teams and the managers/support staff of the enabling systems that support their work. For more information on the aims and development timescales for the Design Studio, you can download a PDF here. To access this developing resource, click on the lifecycle image. |
