11. It’s so hard to provide
support when every unit
looks and feels so
different
12. I feel like I’m continually
re-inventing the wheel
13. I’ve run great training
courses... but no one
has to come (or thinks
they need to)
14. I think what we’ve done
is really good... but I’ve
got no way of helping
others to do the same
15. By the time it gets to me, I
feel like the important
decisions have already been
made - and it could have
been so much better if I’d
been there at the start!
16. Bringing that together
‣ We’re doing really great stuff:
“pockets of excellence”
‣ The student (and staff) experience is
really inconsistent
‣ We want to work together, but it’s hard
17. What that means
‣ We need clear targets & goals
‣ We need a toolkit to identify and strive
for the highest quality
‣ It must balance consistency and
flexibility
‣ We need new ways to work together
18. Aligned not constrained
‣ The best of what you’re doing
‣ Balancing consistency and flexibility
‣ Sharing our success
‣ Efficiency, satisfaction, quality
24. Practical outcomes

‣ Exemplar courses & units
‣ A rubric
‣ Guidelines, policy, templates
‣ A process to design and build great learning
experiences
‣ An integrated training & support plan
25. Two vehicles for the project
‣ Design teams
‣ Learning quality
‣ Training & support
‣ ePortfolios
‣ Course/School “networks” (portals?)
‣ Cross-functional learning design and
development (LDD) teams
26. A reflective, team-based approach

interests, abilities Educational
design,
