Viewpoints Overview

Viewpoints has a remit to create a series of user-friendly reflective tools (in workshop and online format) to promote and enhance effective curriculum design.

Short video introduction -http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rV_DE_0fPJ0

The tools will help staff consider areas such as:-assessment and feedback, -information skills, -Learner engagement and -creativity and innovation

while considering the learner perspective.

Today’s Workshop

Aims to give you an opportunity to use the “Viewpoints” process and tools while considering the design and delivery of your programme

Uses large laminated worksheets (with a student timeline) and best practice cards as prompts to assist conversation, debate, creative thinking and problem solving.

You will work together to plan how to address your agreed challenge(s).

You will produce visual output.
