Supporting the co-generation of work-based learning designs

Abstract

Through workforce development policies, universities are being encouraged to develop flexible support and delivery mechanisms. This includes moving from university-led curricula to demand-led and co-generated curricula. The University of Gloucestershire, in partnership with the University of Winchester and Pebble Learning Ltd, is developing mechanisms and tools to enable such approaches. These include the development of a vocabulary to bridge occupational and academic standards and a toolkit to support curriculum planning. This paper reports on this project and the innovative approaches that are being implemented to create new curriculum development opportunities.
