Participant (academic), modules workshop (digital), April 2022

"Everything we did was useful for me"



Participant, (location-based) full carpe diem workshop September 2022

​"We had three days of intense learning: All the concepts and the step-by-steps for online learning design (and indeed course design) were useful, but also getting perspectives from the other participants and getting a more thorough explanation of some of the aspects I thought I already knew".

Digital Carpe Diem - most valued activities: exploring horizons, storyboarding, developing e-tivities- 80% of the participants plan to implement 'all". 
Carpe Diem Learning Design Workshops:
Key development for staff and highly applied and practical outcomes.

​
The Carpe Diem Experience takes collaborative co-design groups through an intense, fast & agile journey.  Carpe Diem workshops offer the development of practical ways of  imagining & planning courses based on well researched, proven pedagogical frameworks. 

​There are two types of Carpe Diem.                                      
1. ‘programme design’: for whole qualifications through future visioning, threshold concepts & authentic assessment.  Typically 5 hours, fully digital or location based. 
2. 'module design' : includes detailed story boarding and prototyping of online activities (e-tivities.)
Typically 8 hours., usually run 2 x half days.

All workshops complete with detailed action plans & visual reminders. Both are suitable for the refresh & redesign of courses from campus to blend or online,  as well as future-proofing new developments. They ensure the constructive deployment of learning technology. 
​

All fully support academic & team development, contextualised to your context  and discipline.                                                             
Clients often run a programme Carpe Diem, followed by  ‘mass’ module Carpe Diems. They work well to promote cross & multi -disciplinary working.

Achieving Online placements:
Peer Enhanced E-Placements (PEEP) 

A PEEP helps you create an online placement ecosystem with digital and pedagogical quality, offering a legitimate alternative to traditional models of location placement delivery: researched and evidenced.

The PEEP acquisition package, based on a synchronous group workshop,  offers the framework and practice for staff to adopt, adapt, customise – quickly and easily - and  implement their own online placements.
