Overview
This workshop offers a practical and reflective space to explore how constructive alignment can strengthen your teaching. Whether you're revisiting inherited materials or refining your intended learning outcomes (ILOs), you'll be supported in designing curricula that are purposeful, inclusive, and clearly aligned with assessment and learning activities. Previous participants have found it especially helpful in rethinking how ILOs shape the student experience and in moving beyond simply using what’s been handed down.
Intended learning outcomes
- Describe the central features of good curriculum design and development.
- Identify the difference between aims, intended learning outcomes, syllabus and assessment and explain thier importance.
- Outline different teaching and learning styles and explain how these can be accommodated so that students achieve the learning outcomes.
- Use appropriate project tools to plan and support a transparent and collaborative design process.
- Recognise the value of working in inclusive partnerships.
