Documentation:Curriculum Consulting and Scholarship/Curriculum Renewal

Fuelled by global concerns about the quality of student learning experiences and the effectiveness of undergraduate and graduate degree programs, there has been increasing attention to scholarly approaches to curriculum renewal (undergraduate and graduate levels) in a broad array of institutional and disciplinary contexts. A scholarly approach to curriculum renewal that focuses on high quality student learning experiences in multi-year undergraduate and graduate degree programs, however, is a highly complex and challenging process for institutions and disciplines the world over.

UBC has long recognized the importance of attending to curriculum renewal practices, however, the enactment of a campus-based approach and localized scholarship directed at these practices in a research-intensive university, remains very much in its infancy. The Institute for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning is pleased to be engaged with curriculum renewal initiatives within and across the disciplines at UBC.
