Custom academic and workforce program development

Curriculum development

From a broad idea, an incomplete proposal, an outdated catalog, or a new workforce requirement — through research, architecture, sequencing, course development, assessment design, documentation, implementation planning, and quality assurance.

Scope

One course, or an entire portfolio

Projects may involve a single course, a complete degree, a certificate, an internal academy, a professional-development program, or a larger portfolio of related offerings. Clients may begin with an existing course or program, commission an entirely new curriculum, or combine licensing with customization and implementation.

How a commissioned program is built

Development follows the same order as the licensed programs, set out in full on Method: establish the program architecture, define the program learning outcomes, design the course sequence through dependency analysis, then produce complete course documentation. Weekly module development begins only once that documentation is approved. The order is the point — reversing it is what produces gaps, rework, and courses that quietly disagree with one another.

What determines scope

A ten-course program is a conservative 1,700 to 3,200 hours across the development functions listed above. Where a particular engagement falls in that range depends on subject complexity, whether laboratory or case-study development is required, how much primary research the subject demands, and revision volume once institutional review begins. Those are planning ranges rather than time records, and Services rendered breaks them down workstream by workstream.

Starting from something that already exists

Many engagements start from material rather than from nothing. An outdated catalogue, an incomplete proposal, a program that no longer matches the careers it feeds, or a curriculum that has to move to an accelerated format are all modernization work, and each begins with an audit of what can be kept. That is usually the shorter and less expensive path, and it is worth establishing whether it applies before commissioning new development.

License what already exists. Customize it for your institution. Commission something new.
