VM curriculum designing

Training material development on VM curriculum designing was lead by VMU and KUL with the involvement of other partners. E-learning centres' staff or other staff members from consortium institutions worked collaboratively online to develop training material with practical assignments and templates, as well as video or audio explanations on how to design VM curriculum and what are peculiarities in such process.

Teacher collaboration will happen during MA module development. We suggest that each institution delegates at least 1 teacher – collaborator for each Partner institution, by joining in the modules suggested by Partners in OUVM collaborative document.

The Partner institution leading module development undertakes full responsibility for final module adaptation for student VM , however, collaborating teacher(s) discuss with the leading teachers what kind of contribution is expected from collaborators (1 lecture (notes, video, assignment, etc.), or consultation and peer reviewing, etc.). This is internal collaborative process between/ among module developers.

Teacher VM option will be discussed after MA program modules will be developed. Teacher VM is not pre-planned in OUVM project, but might be established in pater project phases upon the need and exploitation ideas.

However, at the time Partner institutions are placing their offers online at collaborative document, they should be aware of the fact that student VM will have to be implemented. For this reason, the following scheme (see table 2. Planning MA program module offer for student VM) is suggested to be used for planning VM and ECTS recognition scheme:

There is a possibility that Partner institutions will not be able to recognise maximum number of modules due to different learning outcomes or ECTS. However, this should be planned the earliest project phase possible with direct impact to further MA modules offer.

MA module description template will be used for OUVM MA module authors and it will be a part of training material called “VM curriculum designing”.
