Curriculum Management System
Summary
Fontys uses a curriculum management system (CBS). The CBS records all relevant data for a Unit of Learning Outcomes (EvL) for the purpose of creating an education catalogue and the TER.
1. What is the Curriculum Management System?
The curriculum management system is a tool used within Fontys to keep track of information about the various Units of Learning Outcomes of the programme. The tool contains the current data, the information about the ULO as stated in the TER and the associated subjects. The CBS is also used to generate the programme catalogue. Pending the Fontys-wide roll-out of the CBS, Fontys ICT Curriculum Database (CDB) is used.
Each lecturer has access rights and can view all curriculum information. Information about EvLs can only be edited by the responsible curriculum owner of the Learning Outcomes Unit and users authorised by this owner, including in any case the Topic Owner (TO).
The tool is also used to generate the programme guide based on the information in the CBS. To ensure that this runs smoothly, agreements have been made about the procedure and timeline of activities.
2. Content requirements
2.1. Information about the Topics
The content of a Unit of Learning Outcomes is also referred to as a Topic. The CBS describes the subjects of the EvL. The CBS is also used to generate and publish the programme guide, which, as an appendix to the TER, contains all the formal information about the programme.
This formal information is kept up to date for each LO in the CBS and must be fully updated two weeks before the start of the programme. The information is published on the page with the OERs of Fontys ICT no later than one week before the start of the programme.
For each topic, at least a description of the following is included: - Content - Learning outcomes - An exit profile based on the HBO-i framework (except for the Personalised Unit of Study, because there the student determines the learning outcomes themselves) - Assessment and final assessment (read only) * Assessment * Feedback * Final assessment * Repairs and resits - Learning activities - Learning materials
2.2. Information about changes to education based on previous educational evaluations
It has been agreed with the IMR and GOC that the improvements implemented as a result of the previous semester evaluation will be included in the Canvas course for the relevant educational unit. In this way, we provide students with feedback on what we are doing with the feedback they previously provided.
2.3. Partners in Education
Canvas describes which PIEs contribute to education and in what form.
3. Fontys ICT naming convention
When setting up and using the CBS, the policy regarding Fontys ICT's Codes and naming of information systems must be taken into account.
