Current “tweaks” to full validations • No requirement to nominate single Course Developer within each Faculty • Faculty Enhanced (FEV) events retained • University events no longer two stage process • A one stage event preceded by some form of Faculty scrutiny to ensure proposal & documentation fit for purpose • New modules pre-validated by Faculty and approved at validation. Existing modules not scrutinised
Negotiated Frameworks WBL Awards Individuals Negotiate package of study Package of study is negotiated for cohort ‘Academic’ Awards Individuals negotiate own package of study in a specific subject area
Negotiated Awards • Awards can include three types of modules: • Core, must include: – Flexible learning – Researching methods – Final Project/ Dissertation • Option ( “off the shelf”) – not required • Negotiated (at least 25%)
Issues • • • Timings Forms used once and not reviewed Content and Scope deficiency Difficult to change Processes are different for partners
Moving forward • Professional Bodies • Further Reviews • Enable
