For over ten years now, every six months we have come together as representatives of curriculum teams in different universities and discussed a wide range of issues, but maybe we have not yet examined ourselves closely enough! This time the focus will be turned on us- the curriculum developers: Who are we? How do we operate in our own institutions? How do we find the right equilibrium?
There seems to be a wide variety of different contexts: some institutions have established teams devoted to curriculum development (sometimes integrating assessment too); in some institutions this responsibility may fall on just one person and may not be that person’s only responsibility; some universities might wish to set up such a team.
How do we create the “ideal team”? What should be the actual roles and responsibilities of this Team? How do we balance this against the work of other stakeholders?
How should its members be chosen and what training do they need? How should it operate in practice and how do we achieve a harmonious working relationship within the team and with others in the institution?
This FOCI event will be an opportunity for participants to share their experience of, and discuss ideas related to these issues. The intention is that participants will come away with some concrete ideas of how to set up and how to ensure the smooth operation of a curriculum team.
