curriculum design
If you work at a university or college, you’ve undoubtedly experienced that redesigning education poses a significant challenge. The interests of students, teachers, faculty, departments, and future employers are often diverse and can be conflicting.
We are here to assist you in renewing your curriculum and enhancing its quality. We do this by designing a high-quality and attractive educational program within the framework of these various interests, driven by a robust strategic vision.
Our approach is characterized by close collaboration with your team, gaining deep insights into all stakeholders’ interests, and creating visual outcomes. For example, we design a curriculum in the form of a roadmap. Both students and teachers can instantly grasp the coherence of different program components.
Our approach has led to improvements in quality. Students rate the program more highly, and teachers collaborate more effectively. The arguments for evaluations and accreditations become more straightforward and transparent.
working together
We help educational institutions with curriculum design.
education strategy
The education strategy forms the foundation for the curriculum. We provide support in developing a clear education strategy. This comprises a clear ambition that marks the end of the program (learning objectives and exit options), an associated learning strategy (motivating, engaging, assessing, and developing students), and a well-defined entry profile.
curriculum design
A curriculum is more than just a list of courses. In a well designed curriculum, all elements come together in one visual representation: the essence and building blocks of the program, learning objectives, decision points, learning paths, and potential exit options. With a curriculum presented in a single visual image, in the form of a roadmap, both students and teachers can orient themselves and navigate effectively.
communication
Effective communication about education serves multiple target groups. We develop communication materials to inform, motivate, and manage expectations for prospective students. To motivate, engage, and support existing students in making choices. And to provide teachers with insight into their role in the program in relation to other courses.
argumentation
Practical experience has shown that programs we have redesigned consistently receive high scores in accreditations and visitations. We assist in making the argumentation, ensuring that the educational vision, curriculum, learning objectives, teaching methods, and assessment methods align seamlessly. This highlights the quality of the program.
approach
We have a proven track record in transforming educational institutions and creating impact. Every educational institution is unique, which is why our approach is always customized and typically consists of the following elements.
co-creation
The wisdom, knowledge, and expertise required for curriculum design are almost always present within the educational institution. We co-create the best result by collaborating closely with a team of passionate teachers and other stakeholders. In doing so, we guide the transformation and ensure all interests are considered.
balance of interests
The interests of students, teachers, faculty, departments, and future employers are diverse. This calls for a holistic approach to curriculum design. Through interviews and meetings, we ensure that we obtain a deep and nuanced understanding of all interests. In doing so, we continuously seek opportunities for innovation and improvement.
visual representation
A visual representation of a curriculum communicates clearly with its users and reveals its quality. We use visuals for designing curricula, for clarifying the strategy, the essence and building blocks of the program, the representation of learning objectives, and much more!
