Curriculum design and pedagogy improved Clause Samples

Curriculum design and pedagogy improved. All curriculum revision activities that Advance initiated in Year 3 in Jamaica were completed in Year 6, and most of these revisions were rolled out with students.1 As the COVID-19 pandemic affected in-person classes, Advance shifted to support the universities to convert in-person courses to fully virtual. This final year, Advance completed the final set of courses, including six animation courses at VTDI. In addition, Advance completed a feasibility study to assess the market and viability of microcredential short-term courses, which led to the development of two short courses for CCCJ. Both courses will expand youth access to short technical programs in areas that are poised for economic growth. In the DR, Advance continued its two-layered approach to standardize a competency-based model across all degree programs, first by working to strengthen faculty’s capacity to use a competency-based model in revising curricula and reframing learning objectives for technical and practicum courses; and second by working with them to tweak at least five courses per degree program to showcase how to reframe learning objectives and course syllabi validated by employers. Through this approach, Advance ensured that changes to the curriculum development and revision process are standardized, and these changes sustained over time. While revisions were completed for ITLA in Year 7, Advance completed all four pending curriculum revisions at ITSC and carried out classroom observations at both institutions to assess changes. Advance observed that professors had their class program at hand to validate the competencies and learning results. Many were implementing more dynamic and experiential methodologies such as the flipped classroom, and they were using more modeling exercises so their students could practice what they were learning. 1 In some cases, the Program was not able to implement all revised curriculums with students given lengthy university approval timelines outside of the Program’s control. Table 3 below illustrates the timeline for completion of all curriculum revisions in each institution. Please note that this table refers to revisions, not implementation and those revisions. All curricula for degree programs shaded in gray have been completed.

Curriculum design and pedagogy improved. Working closely with curriculum task forces at partner institutions and industry specialists, the Program completed curricular revisions of five additional degree programs this year, according to the following guidelines: Tweak: existing degree programs that require minor content or sequence revisions; Revise: existing degree programs that require substantive revisions, such as designing and developing new modules or making major structural changes; and New: completed new degree program that Advance designs in partnership with the institution. In Table 5 below, completed degree programs are shaded in gray, while degree programs completed in Year 5 are marked with an asterisk (*). Due to a change in leadership in the curriculum development department at the end of 2019, URL decided to move forward with the curriculum revision for the Physical & Occupational Therapy degree program without Advance’s support in Guatemala. Advance will not complete this curriculum revision and this degree is shaded light gray. The one curriculum remaining to revise is not shaded.

  • Curriculum Development This includes the analysis and coordination of textual materials; constant review of current literature in the field, some of which are selected for the college library collection, the preparation of selective, descriptive materials such as outlines and syllabi; conferring with other faculty and administration on curricular problems; and, the attendance and participation in inter and intra-college conferences and advisory committees.

  • Technology Upgrades Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Verizon shall have the right to deploy, upgrade, migrate and maintain its network at its discretion. The Parties acknowledge that Verizon, at its election, may deploy fiber throughout its network and that such fiber deployment may inhibit or facilitate Covista’s ability to provide service using certain technologies. Nothing in this Agreement shall limit Verizon's ability to modify its network through the incorporation of new equipment or software or otherwise. Covista shall be solely responsible for the cost and activities associated with accommodating such changes in its own network.

  • Research Use The Requester agrees that if access is approved, (1) the PI named in the DAR and (2) those named in the “Senior/Key Person Profile” section of the DAR, including the Information Technology Director and any trainee, employee, or contractor1 working on the proposed research project under the direct oversight of these individuals, shall become Approved Users of the requested dataset(s). Research use will occur solely in connection with the approved research project described in the DAR, which includes a 1-2 paragraph description of the proposed research (i.e., a Research Use Statement). Investigators interested in using Cloud Computing for data storage and analysis must request permission to use Cloud Computing in the DAR and identify the Cloud Service Provider (CSP) or providers and/or Private Cloud System (PCS) that they propose to use. They must also submit a Cloud Computing Use Statement as part of the DAR that describes the type of service and how it will be used to carry out the proposed research as described in the Research Use Statement. If the Approved Users plan to collaborate with investigators outside the Requester, the investigators at each external site must submit an independent DAR using the same project title and Research Use Statement, and if using the cloud, Cloud Computing Use Statement. New uses of these data outside those described in the DAR will require submission of a new DAR; modifications to the research project will require submission of an amendment to this application (e.g., adding or deleting Requester Collaborators from the Requester, adding datasets to an approved project). Access to the requested dataset(s) is granted for a period of one (1) year, with the option to renew access or close-out a project at the end of that year. Submitting Investigator(s), or their collaborators, who provided the data or samples used to generate controlled-access datasets subject to the NIH GDS Policy and who have Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval and who meet any other study specific terms of access, are exempt from the limitation on the scope of the research use as defined in the DAR.

  • Quality Improvement The Parties must develop QI activities specifically for the oversight of the requirements of this MOU, including, without limitation, any applicable performance measures and QI initiatives, including those to prevent duplication of services, as well as reports that track referrals, Member engagement, and service utilization. Such QI activities must include processes to monitor the extent to which Members are able to access mental health services across SMHS and NSMHS, and Covered Service utilization. The Parties must document these QI activities in policies and procedures.

  • Manufacturing Technology Transfer Except as provided in Section 4.3(f)(iii)(1) and Section 6.10, with respect to any Collaboration Product (or LGC Reserved Product, if applicable) for which LGC (or its Affiliate) performed CMC Development or CMC Manufacturing, if (a) Cue does not elect for LGC to perform CMC Step 2, CMC Step 3, or CMC Step 4 (or with respect to LGC Reserved Products, upon completion of CMC Step 1), or (b) upon failure of the Parties to reach agreement with respect to a Clinical Supply Agreement or a Commercial Supply Agreement or (c) [***] under this Agreement and does not cure such breach within [***] days (provided, that if such breach is not reasonably capable of cure within such [***] day period, then such cure period shall be automatically extended for an additional [***] day period as long as LGC continues to use diligent efforts to cure such breach in accordance with a reasonable cure plan and if such breach is not reasonably capable of cure within such combined [***] day period, then Cue shall reasonably consider consenting to any extension of such cure period as long as LGC continues to use diligent efforts to cure such breach in accordance with a reasonable cure plan), as applicable, then, in each case upon the written request of Cue, LGC shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to make a technology transfer to an Approved CMO the Manufacturing processes (including materials and such other information) but solely as is necessary to enable the Manufacture of such Collaboration Product (including the Collaboration Compound therein) (or LGC Reserved Product, including the LGC Reserved Compound therein, if applicable) by such Approved CMO to comparable biochemical structure, quality and purity as that Manufactured by LGC or its Affiliate or CMO, provided that neither Cue, LGC or any Third Party shall perform such a technology transfer to any CMO [***] without LGC’s consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed if LGC has approved the CMO to manufacture Collaboration Products (or LGC Reserved Products, if applicable).
