ABSTRACT

It is the equivalent of ‘grand opening night’. The stage is set, casting complete, script prepared, the audience have paid for their tickets and are in their seats. The production – in this case your program – is ready to roll and perhaps there are some nerves back-stage! At this point, you may have several questions such as, ‘what is the lowest-risk way to roll out the renewed curriculum?’, ‘will the students engage with the updated curriculum?’, ‘how will I know – and be able to communicate to others – whether it is successful?’, ‘are my colleagues taking action to address their new learning outcomes too?’. Perhaps there have been some ‘reviews’ and marketing of your sustainability inclusions in your course/s already, which has secured your student enrolment for the semester. Now it is time to implement them, and capture feedback for continual improvement. In this chapter we explore opportunities for minimising institutional risk and faculty time spent in course implementation, taking advantage of what has already been achieved from the previous steps in the process.
