Today, Project Director Alan Masson gave a short presentation on Viewpoints to staff in Access and Distributed Learning in the University. For many ADL staff, this was their first introduction to Viewpoints and its aims - namely, helping staff think about their curriculum design.
Alan gave a brief overview of the project, highlighting the five key strands for examination -
- Assessment and feedback
- Resources and information management
- Communities
- Teaching and learning
- Module pathways
He also touched on the theoretical basis which will inform Viewpoints work in these five areas - such as the University of Strathclyde's
REAP principles and the
SCONUL Seven Pillars of Information Literacy Model.
