Aims and Deliverables
Aims
Redevelop an existing Professional Development 10 week, 15 credit, level 6 module, CPD304: Dyslexia and Specific Learning Difficulties (SpLD) in Higher Education – Support Issues.
Objectives
- To develop an improved understanding of the potential for reuse of learning objects at practitioner level
- To learn from the process what constitutes effective practice in creation, design and use of learning objects: distillation and dissemination from this experience internally and externally
- To develop an improved understanding of the workflows underpinning the design, development and reuse of learning objects
- To successfully deliver CPD 304
- To raise the profile of reusable learning objects among key stakeholder groups within the University and its partners
Deliverables
- Project blog
- Project web site
- Development and delivery of the module (conforming to the deliverables of the project as specified at section 25 of the JISC Circular 4/07)
- Learning materials from the module made available through Jorum
- A research-informed framework for the systematic selection of resources for adaptation and reuse: asking a series of key questions (e.g. adherence to standards, pedagogy, level, potential for adaptation). This will build upon the work of previous JISC projects’ guidelines and case studies
- Recommendations to inform institutional policy and practice via the Annual Monitoring Review (AMR) process and the senior Academic Managers’ Group (AMG)
- Information and guidance (from final report, website, case studies, papers etc.) for improved understanding of the potential for, approaches to, and challenges of, reuse at practitioner and institutional level
- Workshops for colleagues within institution or in partner institutions in the region on themes relating to the project
