Making it real: From statutory guidelines to a tangible tool. South East Technological University, Ireland This paper details the ongoing process of creating an on demand course on incorporating QQI’s Statutory Quality Assurance Guidelines for Providers of Blended and Fully Online Programmes (2023) into curriculum design. The Guidelines structure online and blended programme development and delivery into three contexts: Organisational, Programme and Learner Experience. A project involving SETU’s Office of Academic Affairs, Faculty of Education and Lifelong Learning and Centre for Academic Practice took elements from the Programme and Learner Experience Contexts and is in the process of developing an interactive on demand course for curriculum designers to help them ensure that their programme development process takes account of the guidelines and meets the standards set. Developing the course, which was built in Articulate RISE, involves tackling some fundamental questions about the applicability of the Guidelines and accompanying checklists supplied by QQI, and how best to frame them for academics unfamiliar with the specific requirements of blended and online programme development and QQI’s Guidelines. This presentation speaks to how those fundamental questions were addressed, whether GenAI can be utilised and how a systematic approach was adopted to developing the on demand course that mirrors best practice in instructional design. | |
