What We Do
Curriculum development is an ongoing process of planning, reviewing, and improving programs and courses to support effective teaching, student success, and program excellence. It is a continuous cycle of planning and enhancement that may occur through the cyclical Institutional Quality Assurance Process (IQAP) or as part of continuous improvement initiatives.
The Centre for Teaching and Learning assists in curriculum development, review, and renewal processes that are faculty-driven, student-focused, collaborative, evidence-based, and meaningful to the needs of the department.
We provide consults and support on a variety of topics including:
- initial stages of program planning
- articulating program learning outcomes
- strategies for gathering evidence of student achievement
- design of both face-to-face and online courses
- development of new online or blended programs
- relevant examples of curriculum materials (e.g., outcomes, rubrics, curriculum maps, etc.); and
- curriculum renewal and innovation
- development of curriculum maps

The guidelines provided here are our ideal timelines for individual curriculum requests. Our ability to accommodate requests within this timeframe may be impacted by the time of year. Our ability to accommodate requests for meetings is limited in August, early September and in May, due to the high volume of new faculty and TA programs during these months.
