CURRICULUM MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

Tender description

The system we are looking for: Falmouth University wishes to acquire a comprehensive off the shelve curriculum management system that: * Manage curriculum data (both courses and modules. * Manage the following course processes: course proposal & creation (business case), course approval, course re-approval, housekeeping and significant modifications to courses and course roll forward. * At the point of course proposal (business case approved but course awaiting validation) the solution manages the associated marketing material. At Falmouth, courses may be advertised on our website before formal approval so this requirement is crucial. * Uses an industry standard relational database. * Provides a user-friendly graphical user interface. * Allows staff throughout the university to input and maintain data. * Allows staff and students access to relevant information in a user-friendly way. * Provides version control, track changes between versions, audit trail of changes and reporting of changes. * Unites all curriculum data and acts as a single source of truth. * Has reliable interface which has the capability to integrate to current Falmouth university systems (SITS, Learning Space and Falmouth University website). * Provides effective reporting facilities and management information; with the ability for automated export of all data sets to our BI systems. * Offers immediate processing for all reports and operations. * Reduces the reliance on internal resources for maintenance of the core system, e.g. does not require an internal technical team to maintain. * Facilitates the recording and reporting of data for UCAS and KIS. * The solution will already be used successfully by other UK HEI's; at point of formal evaluation this will require references and site visits. The Senior User of the curriculum management system is the Quality Assurance and Enhancement Department (QAE) who will be responsible for the data and general maintenance of this system. Many other users throughout the University will contribute to data input and maintenance.
