It is frightening to see academics with a patchy at best publication record pre 2023, now publish 20 papers in a year!!! Who do they think they are fooling?

An image showing how messy curriculum redesign can be. A white board containing firstly the 12 topics from the original Certificate (in green), then some topics that needed to be added (in red), the TPACK model for reference, then an initial Mapping of the Certificate.

The interaction between Action Mapping, Design Thinking, and Change Management happened over 4 phases: 1. Discovery and Needs Analysis; 2. Ideation and Curriculum Design; 3. Development and Implementation; 4. Evaluation and Iteration

#Curriculum redesign is messy as the image suggests, but it allows for deep thinking, reflection and cross pollination of ideas.
The original plan was for tweaking of Cert, but when we got to #Mapping (bottom right) we agreed #redesign is needed journals.uj.ac.za/index.php/je...
