How do I make the quinquennial review of my UG course exciting?
Earlier this year I was asked to conduct the quinquennial review for the BA in Urban Design, Planning and Development (BA UDP or UDP). This is already a year delayed due to covid, etc. At first instance any review adds to the workload and therefore generates a negative reaction by all members of staff who need to be invovled in it.
However, I am full of ideas and wanting to take this opportunity to engage with the process of CREATING in the same manner as when I was asked to develop the programme for the first time. Key words in this process should be: CO-CREATION, CREATIVITY, INNOVATION, IDEAS, SUPPORT, LISTENING & MEANINGFUL ENGAGEMENT.
Ideas are really flowing and I'm getting closer to an approach where CO-CREATION and PLACEMAKING, two well known models in planning urban design as well as Brookes IDEAS framework, help guiding the review of the BA UDP programme. I'll be updating the blog as I go but here it is the FIRST & DRAFT attempt at merging the IDEAS and our chosen Placemaking model to create a unique UDP Learning Experience Model. A work in progress...
