Project summary
Coeducate is a cross institutional project that will focus our staff on a re-engineering of the professional curriculum. It will develop new processes and technical systems to support curriculum development and design that start with the needs of the learner and their organisation. This will be negotiated and delivered in partnership and with full recognition of in-work and experiential learning. This curriculum re-engineering is vital to the University of Bolton’s institutional strategic mission and informs its strategic dialogue with HEFCE about employer co-funding expansion.Project contributors

Innovation Support Networks
Posted on November 21, 2011 | Leave a comment
In support of the re-validation process at the UoB, the Coeducate project has been proactive in identifying needs and implementing support activities.
It was apparent early on that there was the need to develop an online repository and information sharing portal as current practice was to use email to distribute documentations and ensuing discussion for clarification. To this end, the simplest approach was to create a site (pdf) in Moodle:
‘This space is open to all University of Bolton staff. It contains the definitive documents and guidance for the re-validation process and is the first place to seek clarification from the team responsible for the implementation of the re-validation activities.’
In addition, we have also developed a frequently asked questions in an attempt to reduce the workload on senior staff responsible for the validation, but also to have a common message.
Lastly, to run in parallel with the programme the Coeducate project has put in place a series of Innovation Support Networks with the aim of supporting colleagues to take advantage of the Undergraduate Curriculum Framework to improve their curriculum offerings rather than simply treating it as a tick-box exercise – that is something just to get through:
