Guiding Principles for Curriculum Development

Our approach to Curriculum Development is flexible and collaborative, and is based on evidence-informed processes and practices.

Curriculum Development is guided by:

Constructive alignment
Learner-centered approach
Universal Design for Learning
E-Learning Design
Active Learning
Reflective practice
Quality assurance for measuring course design and teaching
Philosophies of teaching and learning
Curriculum frameworks

The curriculum development process is summarized in this OLD Curriculum Revision process flowchart [/media/vcc-library/content-

Institutional Learning Outcomes

VCC began developing its Institutional Learning Outcomes in May 2017. Institutional Learning Outcomes (or "ILOs") reflect the essential skills, abilities, and
attitudes that VCC promotes in its programs and culture.
