This document discusses drivers and developments in course data, design, and content. It provides information on the XCRI standard for exchanging course information and JISC's Course Data program from 2012-2014. It defines curriculum design as the high-level process of defining learning outcomes and programs of study. It also discusses gaps between curriculum documentation and practice. Finally, it notes that content refers to resources rather than course information and provides links to JISC programs on open educational resources and curriculum delivery.

9. Curriculum Design
 ‘Curriculum design’ is generally understood as a high-level
process defining the learning to take place within a specific
programme of study, leading to specific unit(s) of credit or
qualification. The curriculum design process leads to the
production of core programme/module documents such as a
course/module description, validation documents, prospectus
entry, and course handbook.
