New approaches to engaging employers in the curriculum: Design, delivery, and assessment
An interactive online workshop, 14:30-17:00, 24 March
This practical workshop will help participants to better understand how business schools can work in partnership with employers to design programmes, delivering learning & teaching, and assess student work.
The highly interactive session will provide a range of different perspectives using micro cases from an expert panel, followed by a rapid-fire Q&A session. The panel will then lead short breakout discussions on programme design, learning delivery and developing assessments to allow delegates explore some of the ideas in more depth.
