Query - Is assessment optional?

Jump to: navigation, search

Steve,

I've traced and uploaded the official Certificate in Sustainable Practice programme specification (pdf) document from OP.

As far as I can see, the "Why sustainable practice" 15 credit course is the OERu one we are developing as "Creating sustainable futures". We can't change the current development into a 30 credit course. I don't see how this will fit?

The Certificate in SP and its courses will be discontinued from 2018 so we are looking at a replacement. Level 5 is a challenge though. We have a qual at level 7 to use and I am looking for a suitable qual at level 5 to have creating sustainable futures as an elective.

Hi Steve,

Aggreed - finding a replacement qual is a good strategy. Looking at this from the Polytechnic's perspective, a future Level 5 course need not lead to its own qualification in sustainable practice, but could be incorporated into other credentials at the Poly as an elective serving a wider student base across multiple schools.

I think there are justifiable grounds for OP to have a general elective in this space at Level 5 given our strategic commitment to sustainable practices.
