Sat in the Design Team Meeting


Just came out of a Design team meeting. This is more like a progress reporting
exercise where each ID gives updates on the various projects that they are working on. This
is not only limited to course development but extends to other things such as CDE web site, course development database etc.
Each project is allocated an estimated no. of hours & this translates to a workload indicator for each ID. This is something that DFLSC can perhaps explore. So often we say that we are overloaded with work!!. Quantifying this process will go along way to assisting course team members manage their workloads. This could be a very important differentiating factor for our course development categories in particular the distinction between a Revised & a MA course. Based on my experience, an MA can end up becoming a Revised course. With a quantifiable indicator in place it would make the distinction more clearer for course teams.
