Abstract
Alignment of intended learning outcomes, student learning experiences and formative and summative assessments is central to the design of outcomes and competency-based curricula in higher education. Logically, providing evidence of alignment has also become central to quality assurance and enhancement processes in Hong Kong universities. In this presentation, we will explore alignment from the new course designer’s perspective. By drawing on illustrative cases across professional curricula, we will examine both the conceptualization and enactment of the elements of course alignment with regards to preparation for and engagement with professional practice. The opportunities and challenges of technology-enhanced approaches for course designers will be a central feature of the presentation.
