A cultural shift in programme design? A case study at the institutional level from the UK

The PLA aims to situate the student at the heart of the process of programme design delivery and assessment with an emphasis on student outcomes and team-working amongst departmental academic staff and has significant implications for student assessment diets and staff workload. It is not intended to be a one off tick-box exercise but rather aims to initiate a sustained shift in learning and teaching institutional culture. Although PLA is still at an early stage of implementation it has already begun to generate fresh and exciting discussions around what constitutes a programme how best to assess student learning and also to create different modes of engaging students in their learning.
