Program Design and Alignment
WIDS consultants use DACUM results, subject-matter expert input, and industry standards and regulations to inform program design and alignment. Consultants collaborate with your team onsite or online to design and align program outcomes, course competencies, assessments, curriculum maps and assessment plans.
What makes WIDS different?
WIDS software supports the ability to design a program using DACUM data, standards and input from subject-matter experts. It also accounts for required program documentation, including program outcomes, course lists and program configurations.
Unlike other providers, WIDS uses program design to create career pathways of credentials, such as certificates, that lead to a specific degree. Industry certifications are identified and linked as part of the pathway.
At WIDS, program design harnesses the WIDS Performance-Based Learning Model - focusing on how the learner demonstrates knowledge and skills. We start with necessary outcomes which we glean from DACUM analysis, then build a program showing how learners get there.
Consultants develop a program assessment plan to improve the effectiveness and quality of the program moving forward. The plan links to learning outcomes and defines the assessments used as evidence. Evidence is gathered and compared to program goals. Then a plan is developed for ways to improve.
