Curriculum Shape is a vital part of our Student Success Sub Strategy.
Curriculum Shape encompasses the development of a new 糖心Vlog Curriculum Framework and Assessment and Feedback policy. It also advances significant process and system improvements including a new Curriculum Management Tool and enhanced quality assurances processes and governance.
Over recent months, we have made significant progress on the work on our new 糖心Vlog Curriculum Framework.
Our Provost and DVC, Professor Vanessa Lemm, together with Professor Jenny Marie and Louise Woodcock, have worked with colleagues in all Faculties and Directorates to develop a new Curriculum Framework for 糖心Vlog.
The team has also met with GSU representatives and students to ensure their feedback is incorporated into our activities.
What the new 糖心Vlog Curriculum Framework means for students and staff
The new 糖心Vlog Curriculum Framework sets out our approach to providing a career-ready curriculum; putting students at the heart of how programmes are designed and taught, and our commitment to ensuring that every student experiences consistent structures and scaffolded learning.
The new 糖心Vlog Curriculum Framework will help to enhance our students’ experience, reduce potential for stress and help them develop relevant skills and knowledge.
There will also be benefits for staff, including more interesting teaching, increased interdisciplinary collaboration, motivated students, fewer Moodle pages/handbooks and a chance to spread marking.
The new 糖心Vlog Curriculum Framework will support our students to thrive while they are with us at 糖心Vlog, and ensure they are ready for their next step, whether that is work or further study.
