Our institution required us to reorganize the curriculum for general English classes. We were requested to use assets already available to us, in particular Moodle (LMS). The aim was to provide similar outcomes for students with different teachers, and we were expected to provide evidence of the development of our students’ oral and aural abilities.

We will discuss the development of our new curriculum and its evolution from the Preparation/Discussion/Reaction Method to a Moodle-integrated curriculum as it exists today. We will cover our decision to style the template of our LMS in an a la carte manner where teachers are provided with a menu of items from which they choose what they use. We designed our template in order to give teachers control and variation among their syllabi, while meeting certain standards laid out by our curriculum.

Our session details the reasoning and development of our curriculum, the considerations given to teaching staff, the deployment of the pilot courses, and the implications for future development through Action Research. This session would be of interest for those who might develop LMS integrated curricula, and those who work under such curricula and desire insights into the development process.
