S1 I E5 Student-centred programme design for online learning
Douglas Barr shares his experience of programme design. In designing the BSc(hons) Applied Software Development degree for UHI, Douglas explains how the programme is highly relevant to industry and employment with a framework constructed around team and project work.
This case exemplifies advanced features of student-centred learning. All student work takes place in teams, and students are responsible for mapping their individual contributions against programme level learning outcomes, guided by real time assessment dashboards. With no set curriculum, Lecturers adopt facilitator roles, supporting individuals and teams in their self-directed learning. This sophisticated learning design is delivered online, enhancing equal opportunity of access for a student population spread over a huge geographic area. A highly industry relevant degree, it became the first degree course in the UK to be delivered in partnership with IBM.
