Curriculum maps enable programme committees to manage coverage, coherence and progression of the learning outcomes at award level.
Slightly modified it can also be a valuable tool for managing courses.
Resources• Curriculum Management Guide, online resource• ‘Using Learning Outcomes’ booklet• ‘Undergraduate Levels Framework’ booklet• ‘Enhancing Employability’ booklet• ‘Integrating Information Literacy Into the Curriculum’
booklet
Qualification-based assessment• To provide knowledge and evidence about award-based
assessment• Implications of award structures on assessment at
course level• Builds on work already undertaken by COBE on the
move to programmes, the coherence of student pathways within awards and the cost implications of the increasing use of ECA and project work, particularly at level 3.
Vertical coherence• Aims:
– Providing progressive assessment as students work towards awards within programmes of study
– Students on particular pathways not being over exposed to one form of assessment, and assessment at one level should prepare students for the next stages of the award.
Horizontal coherence• Aims:
– Shared understanding of meaning of study at a particular level in terms of the learning outcomes developed and how they are assessed
– Greater awareness of levels may in turn help the vertical coherence of awards
Projects• Working with colleagues from 4 Programme areas.• Childhood and Youth Studies, Arts and Humanities,
Psychology, Science.• Vertical coherence, ‘capstone’ award assessment,
sector review of different forms of assessment, implications of award-based assessment.
• Outcomes in June 2008.
