In a context in which explicit attention to the curriculum has been
sidelined in universities' strategy, this book makes an argument
for why curriculum matters, both in understanding the effects of
unbundled online learning and more broadly. It takes up two
particular curriculum issues which are amplified in an unbundled
context: differences in the formulation of curriculum between
disciplines and professional fields, and the extent these are
recognised in university strategy; and the push for constructivist
pedagogies, and its effects on curriculum construction. Since the
onslaught of MOOCs in 2012, unbundled forms of online learning
offered via partnerships with external online program management
and MOOC providers have grown significantly across the university
sector. There has been much debate about the implications of these
partnerships but the focus has predominantly been on the engagement
of students and their learning. This book takes a different and
novel approach, looking instead at the effects on curriculum and
knowledge. Drawing on selected case studies, the book reflects on
how university leaders and academics engaged with MOOCs and other
forms of unbundled online learning in the early 2010s, and the
effects of these reforms on curriculum practice. It captures in
detail the complex and difficult work involved in university
curriculum making in a way rarely seen in discussions of higher
education. And it generates new in-sights about some of the
critical problems manifest in the ongoing moves to embrace
unbundled online learning today.
