Hi Panos

This looks really interesting.  We are about to redesign our assessment strategy for our students here at UCEM (online uni) so I will be in touch once I work out how we can apply a similar approach.

Did you have to do staff development too? And what was the feedback from staff?

Many thanks for sharing

Best wishes
Fiona

Dear all,

 

at Macquarie, we are implementing programmatic assessment across all the programs in our Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences and also making good progress with competency based education across the Faculty of Arts. For programmatic assessment promotion, we developed a short video which can be accessed via: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IzQv0oqrwlY.  there is a also presentation available https://www.slideshare.net/eportfoliosaustralia/program-level-design-using-eportfolios-getting-the-big-picture-panos-vlachopoulos-and-sherrie-love-macquarie-university .We now have the first two cohorts of students having completed, we conducted in depth interviews and analysis of their assessments. Happy to chat further.

 

all best wishes

Panos

Of course I assumed that people would know about the PASS project but I should have specifically name checked Peter Hartley and Ruth Whitfield and the work they did at Bradford which is of course explicitly mentioned in our ENhance guide! Looking forward to seeing you on Friday Peter, weather permitting!

Thanks Doug for mentioning the PASS paper.

All the PASS papers and resources are still available from http://www.pass.brad.ac.uk 

Hopefully we will be able to keep this address for the updated website but will publicise this when we can.

 

Best wishes

Hi Jo. At Derby I have worked with teams on emphasising a top down approach to programme design which pretty much adopts the PLA approach using big picture reflections on what the programme should be (including what key narratives from a programme perspective look like for with respect to teaching and learning; assessment and student support e.g.

 

From a practical aspect some useful activities can be borrowed from appreciative inquiry principles and transition mapping (in moving from old programmes to new) to shape desired characteristics of programmes. Happy to talk through any of these aspects. In terms of resources the PASS paper (from around 2010 if memory serves me rightly) and some of the resources around the PLA approach at Sheffield will be helpful

Dear SEDA colleagues 

 

I am currently looking at Programme Level Approaches (PLAs) to redesigning the curriculum within a growing academic department. I was wondering if you could share resources / road maps that you have found useful for this PLA approach to curriculum redesign? I have yet to find anything that gets to the 'nuts and bolts' aspect of the this process.

 

With best wishes
