ATU Curriculum Framework

At ATU we have 7 Steps to Programme Design and Development. This involves working with the Teaching and Learning Centre academic developers and learning technologists and liaison with the Quality Office. Our team takes programme boards through a 7 stage creative process.

The ATU Curriculum Framework is a practical resource, designed by partners across the TU sector in collaboration with subject experts to support all staff to engage with the themes of Sustainability, Academic Integrity, EDI, UDL, Employability and Digital Transformation. The framework considers themes through three distinct categories.

• Rationale – The theory behind the specific theme. What is it and why is it important to a substantive and meaningful learning experience.

• Implementation – How can this theme practically manifest in the learning environment as well as assessment design

• Supports – What are the key resources to consider in relation to this theme.

For more on the Curriculum Framework, how it was developed and how it can support you in creating/ evaluating modules/ programmes, please see the Sway information guide.
