Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path

Overview

The Jisc Institutional Approaches to Curriculum Design programme set out to develop innovative technology-supported approaches to curriculum design, approval and review. The programme was perhaps unique in providing four-years of funding, and this duration presented some challenges in planning for evaluation. In addition, the focus on technology-supported curriculum design was not well documented in the literature, again a challenge when planning evaluation activity. Nonetheless, Jisc made clear that project teams should undertake in-depth baseline and ongoing evaluation activity, although the actual process or methodology for doing so was up to project teams to decide. Indeed, the projects went on to use a wide range of approaches. This page provides an overview of the ‘philosophy’ or approach to evaluation that different projects applied.
