Definition

Curriculum vs Curriculum Development

Curriculum is the planned sequence of learning experiences a program delivers; curriculum development is the systematic process of designing, implementing and revising it — program architecture, course design, syllabi, assessments and accreditation mapping.

Graveiens supplies both the expertise and the production capacity to take programs from concept to accreditation-ready delivery, using the model that fits — Tyler, Understanding by Design, Kern's six-step or competency-based.
