Programme Design Sprites are a set of 3 in-person workshops to facilitate the use of the IDEAS curriculum model. They use Design Thinking methodology to identify rapid, impactful changes that can be made to improve a programme, module, or individual teaching practice. 

During the workshops, you will work with student partners to identify one challenge you would like to solve and collaboratively generate solutions that you can put into practice. 

The Sprites are suitable for individuals or small teaching teams wishing to review their curriculum, assessment and/or teaching practice.

The dates are:

• Wednesday 29 January 2025, 1.30 - 3.00pm
  Tuesday 4 February 2025, 1.30 - 3.00pm 
  Friday 7 February 2025, 1.30 - 3.00pm 
• Thursday 1 May 2025, 2.30 - 4.00pm
  Thursday 8 May 2025, 2.30 - 4.00pm 
  Thursday 15 May 2025, 2.30 - 4.00pm

Are you an Associate Lecturer? The Oxford Centre for Academic Enhancement and Development (OCAED) would like to invite you to complete a new training course: ‘IDEAS: An Introduction for Associate Lecturers’, which will introduce you to the Oxford Brookes IDEAS Inclusive Curriculum Model and how it is relevant to you in your role as Associate Lecturer.

The course will take one hour and on completing the assessment task, we will arrange for you to be paid for this time in the next payroll period. Please access the course via this link: IDEAS: An Introduction for Associate Lecturers.

The Faculty of Technology, Design and Environment (TDE) has published a compelling series of case studies that shine a spotlight on examples of excellence across the elements of the IDEAS Curriculum model. 

You can explore the entire collection or delve deeper into a particular element of IDEAS by navigating to the dedicated 'IDEAS Element' web pages for direct links to relevant case studies.

If you have your own example of good practice related to IDEAS that you'd like to share with our community, we encourage you to complete the case study submission form. Your insights could inspire others and contribute to the ongoing growth of IDEAS.
