Professional Development: Mastering the journey

This submission explores the challenges involved in managing experiential learning outcomes within large group settings. Also, how to design meaningful assessments, content and feedback channels in the context of a programme redevelopment. The direction of the redevelopment journey became more apparent as the authors experimented with different ideas and its varying iterations were guided by feedback from students and other stakeholders. The use of technology, industry-based outcomes and the need for students to have an international perspective also guided the journey and ultimately led to more engaged students, turning a once academic-based ‘skills’ course into an actual skills-based programme.
