I'm starting to put together a Masters degree in Technology Enhanced Learning delivered via Blended Learning. I have designed modules before but I've never designed an award before nevermind taken the whole thing through to validation and hopefully to running the award.
The idea is to create a framework using our existing modules plus others from around the university with a few new ones to create a coherent degree. There have been various meetings with people from different faculties and schools around the university, some of which I've been involved and others not. We don't have the administrative staff or the experience to work on our own with this so our Faculty of Health were approached and we have agreed to work together. We will own the award and Health will own the students.
We have already drafted the aims and outcomes. We have a rough plan of modulers and where they sit in the award. We have a rough time scale, though I think this may be a bit ambitious now.
So deep breath and where to start?!
List of things to do:
- email a process guru from quality and find out what has been done already
- Find out which programme area Health want us to belong in
- Fill in a Plan 1 form
- Fill in a Plan 2 form
- Get in touch will a colleague from another university who has agreed to act as a critical friend.
