 Carpe Diem Learning Design Workshops
​
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.
2. 'module design' : includes detailed story boarding and prototyping of online activities (e-tivities.)
Typically 8 hours.

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 the institution and the discipline. All are currently offered online, face to face when possible, or any combination.                                                               
Clients often run a programme Carpe Diem, followed by  ‘mass’ module Carpe Diems. They work well to promote cross & multi -disciplinary working.

Peer Enhanced E-Placements (PEEP)
A PEEP helps you create an online placement ecosystem with digital and pedagogical quality. The professional practice placement learning outcomes, processes and paperwork are used in a PEEP – mirroring a usual placement. The PEEP offers an online legitimate alternative to traditional models of placement delivery and has evaluated very positively. 

The PEEP design facilitates learning through well-researched evidence-based frameworks, to achieve active online learning.
The PEEP acquisition package, based on a 'flipped workshop'  has been developed to offer the PEEP framework to others to adopt, adapt, customise – quickly and easily - to equip participants to implement a PEEP locally.


Take the opportunity to register your interest to participate in a PEEP acquisition package  by contacting us at the link below.
