Abstract
The Graduate Attributes and Standards Project epitomises the theme of Learning and Teaching week by assisting Program Leaders and Course coordinators "Connect the puzzle pieces" for curriculum renewal. USC's Learning and Teaching academic policy (2011) requires all coursework programs to evidence all twelve graduate attributes. The new Graduate Attributes model of curriculum design asks us to view teaching and learning programmatically enabling students to gain experience in all USC Graduate Attributes over the life of a program. The Graduate Attributes, program learning outcomes, course learning outcomes and assessment form the puzzle pieces required to successfully develop a program. This can be achieved by utilising constructive alignment to design both the program and each course. To assist with this process, USC has introduced a new student-friendly course outline that encourages and assists course coordinators to reflect on and renew current practice in light of the Graduate Attributes. Developing program learning outcomes is a cooperative process that includes input from the whole team to place the puzzle pieces together and recognise the contextual nature of graduate attributes. Mapping of the graduate attributes and learning outcomes is also an important part of the renewal process. The purpose of this session is to provide information and offer assistance to academic staff embarking on the necessary process of curriculum renewal. During the presentation you will be directed to the resources and tools such as the guidebook, tutorials and portal site that are available to help you. The Graduate Attributes and Standards Project is specifically designed to provide space for program teams to plan together to create dynamic, innovative, and connected learning journeys for their students.This session will provide opportunities to share resources.
