  1. Creating and updating programme and module informationAcademic Services Division

  2. Areas being covered: • The approval process • Key dates • Using Saturn

  3. The approval process • http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/quality-manual/taught-programmes/index.htm • New proposals: • Programmes • Business case = advertising, recruitment (process under review) • Programme specification = registration • Modules • Module specification = advertising, enrolment • Changes: Programmes and modules • some categories of changes may require Academic Board approval • Some categories can be approved by Academic Services Division

  4. Modules – one in one out • Expectation that new modules will either: • replace an existing module • be an integral part of a new programme. • Where neither of the above circumstances exist, the School will need to make a case for the module to be approved citing the significant institutional interests served by the module. • Rationale - Curriculum congestion = reduction in student choice and greater staff workload

  5. Module growthModule growth at UK campuses since 2003/04 = 16%Student number growth at UK campuses since 2003/04 = 3%

  7. Using Saturn Programme and module specs = School data Saturn Programme Maintenance step-by-step guide: http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/courses-office/programmes-team/Step-by-Step-Guide.htmSaturn Module Maintenance step-by-step guide:http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/courses-office/programmes-team/Step-by-Step-Guide2.htm Advice and Training Sessions: Ellen Salway – ext. 15746, ellen.salway@nottingham.ac.uk

  8. HTML formatting in Saturnhttp://www.nottingham.ac.uk/courses-office/programmes-team/html-guide2.htm SaturnWeb is a web based environment. This means that if you are copying text with formatting such as bold, italics or bullet points from a Word document, this formatting will not show in Saturn. Instead you need to use HTML tags to add this formatting. There are five key tags which I would recommend you use. So tags consist of a left angle bracket (<), a tag name, and a right angle bracket (>). Tags are usually paired to start and end the tag instruction. The end tag looks just like the start tag except that a slash (/) precedes the text within the brackets.
