Continuous improvement is a huge part of WIL Programs' day-to-day operation, and our courses are no exception. We're always working to ensure our courses remain engaging, relevant, and aligned with employer needs.
We also think it's important to respond to student feedback. When students tell us they're enjoying a certain unit or learning from an assessment, we try to carry their qualities into future development and redevelopment. When we observe common issues or patterns of behaviour in a course, we work with the instructor and course team to address those issues. We want students to know their voices shape our courses and improve future students' experiences.

Major Reflective Report
|
We have removed assignment 4 and implemented the Major Reflective Report (MRR) to be completed as the final submission in PD13. The MRR is a new must-pass assignment and has also been added to all PD elective courses.
|
We have included a Major Reflective Report in PD13 to encourage reflection and create stronger connections between all student experiences, whether academically, personally, or professionally
|
| Spring 2022 |
Assignment 1
|
We reconfigured this assignment to include a DEAL reflection to prepare students for the Major Reflective Report
|
As students prepare to complete the newly implemented Major Reflective Report in PD13, this assignment will provide students with practice and feedback on using the DEAL model of reflection, which is key to success in the Major Reflective Report
|
| Spring 2022 |
All Units and Assignments
|
We reordered the units and assignments to accommodate the Major Reflective Report
|
The order of units and assignments were modified to incorporate key ideas that will prepare students for the Major Reflective Report, as well as provide a more logical flow to the PD13 content
|
| Spring 2022 |
Unit 01
|
We added Future Ready Talent Framework (FRTF) content
|
As part of the redevelopment to emphasize reflection in PD13, this new content will encourage students to consider how FRTF talents are developed through PD13, and provide background for reflection in the Major Reflective Report
|
| Spring 2022 |
Unit 08
|
We added UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) content
|
As part of the redevelopment to emphasize reflection in PD13, this new content will help students connect the UN SDGs to the topic of research, and provide background for reflection in the Major Reflective Report
|
We hope you'll give us feedback on your experience in our courses through their end-of-course surveys or other communication. If you want to learn more about our approach to course development, send us an email.
