Extend Activity #1 – Collaborating to develop a new college program
Back in 2020, one of the colleges that I used to work for decided to offer a new BSc program in Digital Marketing. A team of specialists was assigned to develop an eight-semester-long program with 50 courses.
The team included the following:
- The academic dean was the team leader and the contact point with the external contributors.
- Administration Representative supervised the implementation of the college’s policies (academic, ethics, etc.)
- A digital marketing specialist who provided the latest information about the discipline and requirements in the marketplace for fresh graduates.
- Program Developers developed and linked program objectives with the college’s vocational learning objectives.
- Teachers who develop the content for the courses they teach
I participated as a developer due to my knowledge of digital marketing, academic qualifications, and long teaching experience.
It was the pandemic, so everything was online; we used MS Teams to discuss and share visual diagrams and tables.
The team worked for three months to produce an inch-thick document that provided detailed guidelines and descriptions for forthcoming teaching to work on, students to plan for, and qualification authorities.
