UG-Flex is a JISC-funded project supported by the Institutional Approaches to Curriculum Design programme. The project is led by the University of Greenwich.
Our Project
The project aims to reveal and enhance the University’s curriculum development processes in order to support a more agile and diverse curriculum underpinned by integrated systems. The primary driver is the University’s strategic aim to sustainably increase efficient and effective flexible and part-time learning provision in a changing market place. Although the institution has a long tradition of offering a diverse curriculum and flexible provision, too many of the current systems and processes that support our curriculum are no longer fit-for-purpose and are inhibiting the development of new and flexible curriculum.
The focus of the project to date has been consultation activities with stakeholders to help gather requirements in relation to curriculum design systems and processes at Greenwich covering issues such as speed of study, “non-standard” start and finish dates and validation and review. The project has been involved in the review of regulatory and quality frameworks.
