Where should you start?<\/p>\n First, you should talk to your departmental Head, then to TLSE\/TLO (Teaching and Learning Officer) for your school. Once you\u2019ve got the green light, you might consider forming a small group of colleagues to brainstorm initial ideas about syllabus content and begin the process of writing aims and learning outcomes. You will also need to write a Course Unit Descriptor, talk to timetabling, and consider what practical resources you will need to run this unit.<\/p>\n Learning Design can help with many of these areas. As well as helping you with. Course unit design, they can also provide guidance about embedding sustainability, employability, digital capabilities and EDI into your unit, to ensure that it is fully compliant with the UoM goals and guidelines.<\/p>\n You can book a learning design consultation<\/a> for support and advice.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Explore student co-creation of curriculum” open=”off” _builder_version=”3.17.6″ title_text_shadow_horizontal_length=”0em” title_text_shadow_vertical_length=”0em” title_text_shadow_blur_strength=”0em” body_text_shadow_horizontal_length=”0em” body_text_shadow_vertical_length=”0em” body_text_shadow_blur_strength=”0em”]<\/p>\n If you’re considering involving students in evaluating or redesigning your course unit, that’s fantastic!
