CAIeRO for Individuals or Teams | ILT - The University of Northampton

Mode of delivery: Face to face

Length of Session: Two full day workshops

If your module needs some redesign, then sign up for a CAIeRO module redesign workshop today!

CAIeRO can be done with a course team or individually. It is usually a two day workshop, which works through several stages of design activity.

Team CAIeROs have the advantage of co-designing modules on the same programme, which helps with creating a consistent learner experience (and also with team building!).

To arrange a team CAIeRO, contact: LD@northampton.ac.uk

If your team are not currently able to get together for a CAIeRO, you can still benefit from the process by bringing your module to a CAIeRO for Individuals. These sessions are open to staff from all subject areas, so you will benefit from some cross-disciplinary perspectives as well as guidance from trained facilitators.

To sign up for a CAIeRO for Individuals, contact: Ming.Nie@northampton.ac.uk

Note: participants tell us that they get the most out of CAIeRO if they complete the full workshop. That said, we recognise that teams and individuals may not always need to complete all the stages. If you’d like to arrange a session covering a particular element, e.g. storyboarding a module or prototyping learning activities, please contact the Learning Design team.
