review processes
This tool helps us to maintain our complex
curriculum in an electronic repository
As a student I have a role in the design of the
curriculum
As a tutor I have a role in the design of the
curriculum
This advanced management tool enables us to
control curriculum change but consult more widely

ICEIface Curriculum Map

• Curriculum Maps represent spatially the
  different components of the curriculum so that
  the whole picture and the relationships and
  connections between the parts of the map are
  easily seen.

A mixture of graphics and text is usually the
fastest way to delineate complex relationships
We need to have a shared understanding of our
notation

Activity
In your group consider the question of how to
characterise competencies to reflect levels of
expertise. Specifically consider the following
questions

• Should competencies have different levels of
  ability?
• If not, how do you differentiate between
  different levels of expertise for a competence?
• If yes, how many levels?
• What term could be used to name these levels and
  how should they be defined or described?
• In the Manchester curriculum, competencies are
  either, knowledge-based, skills-based or
  behaviours. Should any level descriptors differ
  for each kind of competence?

29
Next Steps

• Continued development of the graphical interface
• Continued population and use of the knowledgebase
• Major role in the development of a new
  undergraduate programme for medicine
• Integration with other TEWPL products
  especially e-llaborate

30
E-llaborate

• E-llaborate is an online collaborative workspace
  that provides networked connections around a
  defined community
