Transforming curriculum delivery through technology: Stories of
challenge, benefit and change
[http://www.jisc.ac.uk/publications/programmerelated/2011/curriculumdeliveryguide.aspx]
During 2008-2010, the Transforming Curriculum Delivery
through Technology Programme investigated the potential
for technology to support more flexible and creative models
of curriculum delivery. This publication captures outcomes
from individual projects and summarises the key points
emerging from the programme.
Outcomes from the Transforming Curriculum Delivery Through Technology
programme provide a rich insight into the ways in which institutions
and individual curriculum areas can make use of technology to respond
more robustly to the demands of a changing world. The programme's
focus on challenges ensures its outcomes reflect the real-world issues
faced by universities and colleges as they strive to deliver
high-quality learning in difficult economic times.

challenge, benefit and change
[http://www.jisc.ac.uk/publications/programmerelated/2011/curriculumdeliveryguide.aspx]
During 2008-2010, the Transforming Curriculum Delivery

for technology to support more flexible and creative models
of curriculum delivery. This publication captures outcomes
from individual projects and summarises the key points
emerging from the programme.
Outcomes from the Transforming Curriculum Delivery Through Technology
programme provide a rich insight into the ways in which institutions
and individual curriculum areas can make use of technology to respond
more robustly to the demands of a changing world. The programme's
focus on challenges ensures its outcomes reflect the real-world issues
faced by universities and colleges as they strive to deliver
high-quality learning in difficult economic times.
