Aims and Objectives

Integration of the curriculum

Initially this will be achieved through providing a common context within which the different aspects of the subject are presented and resources on which the different disciplines will draw. In the longer term, it is intended that the resource will be embedded more centrally in to the structure of the first year and this is the aim forms part of the dissemination strategy for the project.

Improved learning through engagement

Through its content and coverage, the resource will bring reality and currency into learning and will enable the development of skills of analysis, problem solving, team working, researching and critically assessing information sources.

The main pedagogic approach on which this proposal is based is that of experiential learning (Kolb, K., 1984) and tutors will be able to choose ways of utilising the resource based on action learning (McGill, I and Beaty, E., 2001) and problem based learning (Boud, D and Feletti, G. I., 1997) approaches.

Embedding (and dissemination)

The project plan includes the embedding of the resource locally. It will be evaluated and improved through the experience of working with it.  The achievement of this aim will be facilitated by the involvement from the start of the leaders of the modules to which it can be applied.

Wider embedding will be sought through wide dissemination, firstly through cascade partners and through other means (see Dissemination).
