ABC

The ABC curriculum design method is an effective and engaging hands-on, card-based approach to curriculum design, developed at UCL by Clive Young and Natasha Perovic. It is built on curriculum design research from the JISC / University of Ulster (Viewpoints) and work of Prof Diana Laurillard (learning types).
