Theme: Planning and Progression

This is one of 11 lists of themed resources originally created as a result of

recommendations by participants at a series of eight HEA workshops held around

England in spring/summer 2012. In this sense, they form a record of the views of the

particular contributors, and are not intended to be exhaustive, or exclusive.

We also created a new list of resources on Curriculum design which should be

consulted alongside this list.

Lists are in alphabetical order, and enough information is included in the referencing

to allow resources to be located readily. If the individual resources are to be used (in

course documentation, academic work, etc.), you may need to adapt this to fit your

own institutional requirements.
