What to include in your curriculum and course planning

  • Plan the course offering

    Record each course, its learning outcomes, prerequisites and intended academic term.

  • Coordinate teaching assignments

    Keep the course lead, tutor availability and planned sessions together so a change has a clear owner.

  • Review course changes

    Record what changed, who reviewed it and which timetable or teaching materials need an update.

  • Use your curriculum structure

    Organize courses by department, programme or term. Link learning outcomes to the relevant course revision.

  • Keep planning separate from enrolment

    Link to student administration when needed instead of duplicating every student record in the planning app.
