To support curriculum transformation LTDS colleagues have redeveloped a number of new resources.
A new LEC landing page on the Learning and Teaching Site
Our University Learning and Teaching site is provides guidance on learning and teaching, digital technologies and professional development. We have taken the “effective practice” branch and reorganised it around the eight sections of LEC.
You can see the new site here: Leading Edge Curriculum | Learning and Teaching @ Newcastle | Newcastle University
New pages include:
- Inclusive Assessment – a toolkit co-developed with Student Health and Wellbeing Colleagues
The site has prominent links to the Enabling Policy for the LEC (EPGS) and to the Education Strategy SharePoint site where you can find out more about the LEC Implementation support and progress.
LEC Orientation Canvas Course
We have also published a short self-paced Canvas course designed for colleagues to work through before curriculum transformation. It outlines the benefits that our Leading Edge Curriculum Framework will bring, introduces key LEC requirements, and directs you to key resources that will be useful to explore before a supported design period supported by the Curriculum Transformation Team.
The orientation acts as a starting point for a more detailed study of the LEC Framework and supporting policy.
You can self enrol using this link: https://ncl.instructure.com/enroll/7NW9GC
We are continuing to develop these resources
Colleagues are working on new resources we will be adding in examples from the Curriculum Transformation pilot, guidance from the Encounters workstream and LEC Fellows, as well as case studies illustrating LEC parameters.
Do get in touch (ltds@newcastle.ac.uk) if you have feedback or have examples of practice you would like to share.
