In an article for The evoLLLution, Lyndi Duff (Salt Lake Community College) argues that postsecondary institutions must rethink how they design, manage, and update curricula to better meet the demands of today’s student population. The author asserts that curriculum management should be reimagined as a strategic function, rather than just an administrative task. Specifically, Duff advises institutions to embed agility into curriculum design to keep pace with workforce needs, eliminate opacity in the curriculum management process, and commit to accessibility and inclusivity as core tenets of academic program development. “[T]he institutions that thrive in the future will be those that recognize the power of curricula as a tool for innovation, student success and institutional resilience,” concludes Duff.
