7. Make ‘big ask’ of key change-makers as small as possible

A ‘big ask’ of academic colleagues… While you’re doing all you can to deliver student success, retention & satisfaction this year, please can you design New Curriculum, Teaching Schedules, Assessment Schedules & build it in the VLE ?

… made as small as possible We’ll only ask for the bare minimum and we’ll only ask for it once

You build the course content, and we’ll ensure the course admin stuff appears automatically

8. Make it stick with reinforcing change
