Innovative curriculum is at the heart of Massey’s endeavour to provide contemporary, high quality education to a student cohort that is defined by its diversity. Changing the operating model to ensure that Massey’s curricula is fit for purpose, innovative and is meeting the needs of the 21st Century learner is no easy task. A recent investment in learning designer roles to partner with academic and professional staff as well as student communities is key to the successful adoption of new operating models. With a focus on simplification that reduces waste in time and effort, coupled with building meaningful relationships to ensure enduring change, the familiarities of the learning designer role at Massey is being challenged, redefined and reconceptualised.
