Current consultancy work   Transforming curriculum delivery through technology Sept 2008 - Sept 2010 Member of the JISC synthesis and support team for the Curriculum Delivery projects - in this context curriculum delivery is meant as shorthand to embrace the many ways in which learners are enabled to achieve the outcomes offered to them by a curriculum. Projects focus on processes which take place when real learners engage with a designed curriculum. Teaching, learning support, advice and guidance, coaching, mentorship, peer and collaborative learning, feedback and assessment, personal development planning and tutoring, skills development and practice, and enabling access to curriculum resources are all processes that might be involved. By the term ‘delivery’ we don’t intend that projects should focus on the delivery of information to learners, or suggest that this is an appropriate or adequate way of enabling learners to achieve curriculum goals. see this page for some mapping documents     JISC OER Programme Synthesis and Evaluation Project Project which will provide a range of activities to support an ongoing evaluation and synthesis of the Open Educational Resources (OER)programmes.
