1 CurtinX courses: Selection and Development Process Partnering with edx provides Curtin with the opportunity to significantly increase global engagement and to showcase excellence and expertise in a number of disciplines. The partnership aligns with Curtin s strategic goals to: lead in innovative education globally provide a richly interactive and personalised learning experience provide opportunity for graduates, equipping them with skills for the future Membership of the edx consortium gives Curtin access to emerging learning technologies, rich data sources and potential partnerships with consortium partners. Importantly, it provides alternative entry pathways into Curtin s degree programs, opening significant global markets to us. Realising an increase in enrolments through conversion of MOOC learners into Curtin students is a critical outcome. For the purposes of this document CurtinX courses and MOOCs refer to the same thing and may be used interchangeably. Focus of CurtinX courses To ensure that the courses hosted on edx appropriately reflect Curtin s strategic vision and goals the following key elements are required: Provides generation leads in a course that will enhance Curtin s brand reputation Innovative, international appeal and global demand Acts as an entry pathway to an online Curtin degree. This may be into an existing program or into a proposed new program, preferably at post graduate level. Re-purposing of the CurtinX course in more than one learning modality Potential of the course to be part of a series of related CurtinX courses (XSeries) Potential of the course to enhance or supplement current Curtin courses Alignment with Curtin s research strengths Minerals and energy, ICT and emerging technologies, Health, and Sustainable Development No pre-requisites required for the level of instruction within the course Short tuition period of 4-6 weeks (XSeries and Professional Education courses may be longer) 1
2 Types of CurtinX courses The Curtin edx agreement provides for the development and hosting of courses on both edx and edx edge where: is the domain for high quality, short duration courses (approved by edx) with discoverability, resource support and scaled to accommodate very large class sizes; Curtin can have up to 20 courses on edx in a 12 month period. is a safe, low-visibility environment suitable for small, short duration courses for select learners who join by invitation (including Curtin students/staff). EdX edge is primarily intended as a pilot environment for potential edx courses. Curtin can have up to 20 courses on edx edge in a 12 month period. Credit for Recognised Learning Pathways to Entry CRL can be achieved through a CurtinX course in two distinct ways. These are important to consider in relation to providing clear pathways into Curtin degree offerings. Learners undertaking an XSeries. This is where three or more CurtinX courses are linked as a series of courses which can either be taken individually or, when combined, can create CRL for the learner into a Curtin degree. Learners undertaking proctored assessments. At the completion of a CurtinX course learners can enrol and pay to complete a formal assessment which is then graded by Curtin teaching staff. Successful completion would result in CRL into a Curtin degree. CurtinX Development Team The CurtinX team (within Curtin Learning and Teaching) provides expertise in instructional design, graphic and multimedia design, project management, online learning and course authoring in the edx LMS. The team will work, in conjunction with Faculty staff, to design and build the proposed CurtinX course. Centralised services would include: Scope and design of the CurtinX course Project management of CurtinX course development Multimedia support in the production of course assets Technical support in the development of advanced assessment tools or other online applications that require software development Training and assistance for Faculty staff on managing/facilitating courses in the edx platform Advice and assistance managing the active and archived course Assistance with management and access to student analytics collected whilst the course is active Additional expertise may need to be sourced for high quality video production and video transcription services. 2
3 Faculty Team Creating and facilitating a successful CurtinX course requires significant time and effort from the subject matter expert (SME). Commitment from the Head of School to afford appropriate time release for the SME to develop and run the course is critical. Depending on whether the course is facilitated or self-paced commitment may also be required throughout the period of edx availability. Revenues A CurtinX course is offered at no cost to the learner. Learners can, however, register to purchase a verified certificate upon successful completion of the course. The price of the certificate is set on advice from edx with a minimum of USD$49. This is shared between Curtin and edx and therefore represents a small revenue stream to the University to offset investment. Selection Process CurtinX Proposals The Associate DVC Learning and Teaching will call for proposals twice a year. A Selection Panel will be convened comprising the DVC Academic, Associate DVC Learning and Teaching, nominated Faculty PVC, nominated Dean Teaching and Learning, Chief Marketing Officer or nominee, and Director, Digital Learning and Design. Templates for proposals will be provided (Appendix 1). Proposal (Expression of Interest) An initial descriptive overview detailing: A syllabus overview, list of topics and learning outcomes of the course including its alignment with Curtin s research strengths and current Curtin courses The global audience for the course and the likelihood of enhancing Curtin s brand reputation and attracting significant interest and learner engagement How the course provides a pathway to existing Curtin courses (online postgraduate) or a commitment to developing a new online course in conjunction with the CurtinX course Potential for the course to be aggregated with other CurtinX courses for potential CRL into Curtin degree courses Evidence as to how the CurtinX course will be leveraged (or components of the course) in current Curtin courses and re-purposed in other learning modalities The Faculty/School/Department and the key instructors including a statement from the Faculty acknowledging the proposed application and including a commitment to provide at least one subject matter expert (SME) to assist in writing the course and facilitating the course when offered CurtinX Proposal Criteria Successful proposals will be assessed on the following criteria: International appeal and demonstrated global demand Potential of the course to enhance, supplement, or provide a pathway to current (or proposed) Curtin degree courses (with an online availability) 3
4 Potential of the course to be part of a series of related courses (XSeries) Alignment with Curtin s research strengths Minerals and energy, ICT and emerging technologies, Health, and Sustainable Development Degree of innovation, creativity and/or gamification components Development Process Design and development of CurtinX courses Experience from consortium partners suggests that a short course with 2-4 hours contact per week will take a minimum of 6-8 months to design and produce. Typically a CurtinX course requires: Innovative instructional and technology resources to support course engagement Significant time commitment for design and development Strategies for supporting online student engagement Creative methods for assessing student learning including automated and peer marking A detailed record of attribution for copyright course materials What we have learnt about our edx learners: More than 80% of learners have either an undergraduate or postgraduate degree Approximately half of the learners come from the United States, Australia, India, Canada, Brazil and the United Kingdom More than 50% of learners are aged between 26 and 40 with a median age of 29 Learners have a variety of motivations for enrolling and completing edx courses EdX minimum requirements All courses offered through edx must address the edx MOOC development checklist (MDC). Course teams are encouraged to use the MDC when designing and developing their MOOC. The MDC is broken into 2 parts minimum requirements and optional best practices. All MOOC courses need to meet the MDC s minimum requirements prior to being offered on the edx.org site. See Appendix 2. 4
