It's all about the students

The Sharjah Project and Curriculum Mapping

It is not often that you get to help with the development of a new Dental School 11,000 kms away. The Sharjah team here in Adelaide built one from the ground up and covered every single aspect from feasibility study to accreditation preparation, facilities design, staffing plan, recruitment and training. In the early days of the project I figured out how to create a way for the team to demonstrate the connectivity and integration of the curriculum. I developed a website like connected curriculum map that could be used when explaining the University of Adelaide Bachelor of Dentistry (BDS).  Prof. Viv Burgess of the School of Dentistry explained the significance of this hyperlinked map:

“ Starting from the earliest stages the availability of an electronically mapped model of the Adelaide BDS Curriculum proved to be an important advantage when presenting to stakeholders and especially when planning the development of the curriculum material.  In the later years of the Project at a major international conference other Universities attempting similar work commented that this was an advanced capability and sought advice on the process.”
