Abstract

This paper discusses the design process in the development of an undergraduate early childhood course. This design process was grounded in learning theory, using a team-based collaborative process to consider, develop and refine the course design. It started with a reflection on the learners and the learning environment. It then moved into an iterative process of investigation, creation and refinement of a new course that addresses the characteristics of the learners, the learning environment, authentic assessment and the learning outcomes holistically. This paper details the design process from initial conceptual thinking through to the final proposal ready for the University governance process and accreditation approval. Future directions could consider investigating the experience of all stakeholders involved in the process, as well as the student experience of the new course, to inform the process of collaborative course design.
