• Faculty of Engineering, University of New South Wales (traditional university, 4200 full-time engineering students)
• CREWED is course design and development process for blended & distance courses
• Two courses used as pilots, one undergrad, one postgrad
• Used Action Research
• CREWED is built on the Carpe Diem model, also ideas from the London Pedagogical Planner project
• 1 day workshop, follow-up half day workshops with everybody involved in the development taking part
• All course learning resources available for first workshop
• Both pilots also involved using students to give feedback either between or at workshops
• Instead of storyboarding, used representation as spreadsheet inspired by London Pedagogical Planner
• Evaluation - observation of online activities during course and survey at end
• Timing with academic calendar important
• Engineering academics comfortable with the planning side, less so with educational concepts e.g. resistance to 5-stage model
• Two more pilots underway
• Course Design Spreadsheet template particularly useful
• Issue of academic staff 'burnout' - negotiation of pedagogical models vs. quality of learning design
