Planning a trip is always easier with a good map and the same goes for creating effective digital learning. A clear, well-designed curriculum helps make the journey smoother, faster, and a lot more enjoyable for everyone involved. With over 5600 hours of content developed, our curriculum development services at Skoll support you from the first idea to full digital launch. In this article, we will walk you through the basics of curriculum development and show you how it can save time, boost engagement, and bring real results.
What is curriculum development?
The success of any teaching effort depends on several factors: the content of the lessons, the way information is structured, the methods used to teach it, and how well it connects to learners’ needs. If you want your course to actually do what you intend, the first step should always be thoughtful planning. This is where curriculum development comes in.
The European Centre for the Development of Vocational Training defines curriculum development as the “process of designing, improving, organising and planning activities related to an education or training” and it involves much more than just writing lesson plans.
Curriculum development includes:
- analysis of education and training needs;
- definition of learning objectives and outcomes, topics, content of programmes and activities, materials and resources;
- definition of the duration and level of the action, type of learning (school-based or work-based), entry requirements;
- definition of methods and approaches (assessment of learners, validation of learning outcomes and evaluation of programmes);
- definition of standards (competence, educational, occupational, assessment, certification and validation standards);
- selection of providers, training of teachers and trainers.”
Now that the definition is clear, let’s take a look at how Skoll’s curriculum development services can make the process easier and more effective.
