Event Description
The impact of curriculum design on student learning has not been as well studied as other aspects of higher education. Research studies on student learning typically focus on the interplay between student personality and/or cognitive factors and instructional delivery systems within the context of a single course or course sequence. Such studies provide results related primarily to student achievement within that specific course or sequence. Curricula, however, are complex systems of courses and other activities with significant dependencies and interactions. In this presentation, I will discuss the methodology used by the School of Biomedical Engineering, Science and Health Systems to develop a learning indicator-driven alignment and integration of our courses into a competency-based curriculum. The use of the AEFIS knowledge management system as a tool to support curriculum design, mapping, assessment and evaluation in order to create adaptive and agile curriculum designs will be examined.
