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?

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 Dr Doug Carr PHD SFHEA BSc DCR FETC College Lead for Quality Enhancement Sent from my iPad On 16 Jan 2018, at 19:43, Joanne <[log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>> wrote: 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.
