Integrate employability skills

Employability is a critical part of today’s curriculum design process. Our curriculum design services focus not only on the skills needed to complete a unit, but also on the skills needed in the wider, competitive workforce.  By thinking beyond the subject matter of the course itself, we encourage our clients to also think about:

• Building workplace skills
• Developing motivation
• Improving student engagement
• Demonstrate apractical application of skills.

Align student and institutional goals

The most successful units are often those that strategically align the goals of students and institutions. Whether you need to create a curriculum from scratch or simply update and revise existing materials, we can help. At Affect Media, we understand that effective curriculum design starts with understanding the intended learning outcomes. This is a specialised skill that requires an understanding of not only the subject’s purpose but also its structure, as well as the materials and content it contains.  As part of our process, we set out to understand both student and institutional goals before posing the following questions:

• What is the social and cultural context of the course/unit?
• What skills will the unit foster?
• What is the most effective teaching strategy for this unit?
• What educational and cultural backgrounds to most students who take this unit come from?
• What prerequisite learning is required for this unit?
• Are all reading and learning resources up to date?
• Has anything changed in the industry or field since the course or unit was last run?
