Streamline Your Module Setup with the 2025 Module Set-Up Guide

Get ready for the next academic year with less administrative hassle and more time for teaching.

As we approach the 2025 Learning Central module rollover, we are glad to share a new Module Set-Up Guide, created by the Learning and Teaching Academy. We know how time-consuming and repetitive the setup process can be, especially if you manage multiple modules, and this resource is a practical, step-by-step guide to help you prepare your modules for next year efficiently and confidently.

Whether you are copying content from last year or building from scratch, the guide is here to help you organise your modules in a way that supports student learning and saves you time.

What Is the Module Set-Up Guide?

The Module Set-Up Guide is a user-friendly online resource designed to support academic staff in preparing their Learning Central modules for the new academic year. It complements the Learning Central Good Practice Guide and focuses on key areas that enhance the student experience, including:

• Structure and Organisation
• Learning Materials
• Assessment and Feedback
• Module Communication

Each section includes optional Key Tasks that you can work through at your own pace, making the guide flexible, supportive, and adaptable to your existing teaching practices. Whether you’re continuing with a familiar module or refreshing your approach, the guide provides a framework for building modules that are well-structured, easy to navigate, and pedagogically sound.

Why Use the Guide?

The Module Set-Up Guide is more than just a checklist, it’s built around a model of enhancement co-created by digital learning experts, academic staff, and students. It is:

• Practical and adaptable to your needs
• Designed to promote consistency and clarity across modules
• A valuable way to reflect on and improve your current practices
• Supportive rather than prescriptive

By using the guide, you’re not just preparing for rollover, you are setting your students, and yourself,  up for success.
