Review of an institutional MOOC courses

Massive open online courses (MOOCS) have become one of the most popular initiatives from top universities in the world. Effectively designed MOOC’s can help your institution:

• Give a taste of university courses to potential students, industry and potential employees
• Promote a university image
• Contribute to university ranking
• Exchange knowledge with academic communities worldwide
• To experiment and develop e-learning competency
• Serve as networking strategy

However, one main problem with the majority of MOOCS is the poor design and the potential for negative effects on institutions that distribute them. CIHCD can help to review your MOOCS and provide a set of recommendations for improvement in terms of pedagogical/learning, media quality, interface dimensions and interactivity.

Review of centers/initiatives for the advancement of learning and teaching

Many top-ranked institutions have established centers for the advancement of university learning and teaching. The central purpose is to systematically enhance the student learning experience by aligning learning outcomes based curriculum with learning and teaching & assessment strategies. The usual approach to achieving these goals in through professional development programmes for university teaching staff, including academics and tutors.

Considerable resources are often committed and invested in establishing and organizing these centers. However, institutional culture, regulations and expectations often divert energy and success. With expert consultants, CIHCD can help your institution establish or structure your centre, including developing policy and strategy documents, academic development programmes, online/blended learning initiatives, and recruitment of experienced staff. The CIHCD review process will result in a set of recommendations to streamline the effective operations of such units.
