Programme approval: post-approval, what next?

Session Outline

You did it! You had an idea for a new programme and you’ve secured academic approval – congratulations! So what are the next steps? How do you go from academic approval to actual delivery in terms of module materials on Brightspace, reading list creation and other quality assurance processes. Well, this is the webinar for you.  

We will focus on the next steps in terms of:  

• Module material creation on Brightspace 

• Module reading list creation on Talis Aspire 

• External examiners – sourcing them and getting them in post  

• Modification process 

• Quality monitoring & review 

This is the third webinar in a series focussed on the programme approval lifecycle. This webinar is optional and is aimed at new programme leaders who have never led a programme before, although all academic colleagues are welcome to attend. It may also be of interest to colleagues who have an interest in quality in the academic partners to learn more about the programme approval lifecycle.
