Course outline and reading list

Should be provided at least 4 weeks before the start of the course

Outlines should include the broad content of the course, learning outcomes, assessment methods, core texts and resources, and indicate when and where additional information will be available.

  • If using Learn or Moodle, a document containing this information, can be uploaded, as a minimum.
  • A direct link to a Resource List (an online reading list) can be provided.
  • There is a place in the Learn template for this so students know where to find this information in all their courses.
  • Assessment due dates can be added to a course calendar.
  • Other key dates for the course can be added, and the student can see an overview of all the key dates for all of their courses in a Calendar view (Learn) or Upcoming Events block (Moodle).
