Access to the internet
Some computer skills you do not need to be an expert. If you can use most
of the functions of MS Office, youll be able to create the content.
If you do not own a computer or have access to one, I have wonderful news for you.
Unisa has negotiated discount for the students to enable them to buy a notebook or
HSE 3704 Curriculum Development workbook
electronic device and data bundles. Please visit myUnisa for more detail (e-solutions
for students).
As you are most probably aware of (and I would be concerned if you did not know
this), this module forms part of one of the following undergraduate degrees:
Bachelor of Arts in Nursing Science Health Services Management and
Education (0216X - HHS)
Bachelor of Arts in Nursing Science Health Services Management, Education
and Community Health (0216X - HSM)
The Education and Training Quality Assurance bodies (ETQAs) for this qualification
is the South African Nursing Council (SANC), the Council for Higher Education
(CHE), as well as the South African Qualification Authority (SAQA). Therefore the
content will adhere to SANCs regulation, R.118 (of 23 January 1987) and the SAQA
approved course (SAQA ID_____).
This module is on a NQF-level 7 and the credit weight of this module is 12 credits.
Each credit calculates to 10 notional hours. This implies that it will take the average
student 120 hours to reach the outcomes of this module. These 120 notional hours
include the time you spent reading the content and completing the activities and
assessments. Therefore, if your semester is only 14 weeks long, you will need to
spend at least 8 quality hours per week on this module (120 hours 14 weeks =
8 h/week). That calculates to nearly 2 hours per weekday. Please plan your study
time accordingly.

assist students (and educators) with their reflections. We will make use of his
guidelines to do our reflections.
6. Assessment
For HSE3704, there is no Summative (end-of-semester) assessment or exams. Yes,
your eyes are not deceiving you. No end-of-semester exams! But for that no-exam
privileged, assessment will be continuous (which is good and preferable). This entire
workbook as well as the electronic e-portfolio will be assessed for your final mark.
Activities that must be submitted will be indicated and graded. This is going to be
fun!
Remember to also paste all the activities in this workbook, as you will submit this
workbook for grading purposes (and an electronic copy will possibly be retained for
moderation purposes). To assist you, I have made a demo portfolio for myself. You
can take a sneak preview @ http:// .weebly.com/

Now, in Column B, write down the values that underpin the organisation or institution

need to talk!

where we want to go. What is our vision (our dream) for our own lives?
Complete the sentence: In 5 years time I want to see myself involved in education of
nurses in Occupational nursing, developing curriculum and providing direction and
support in developing this field.
We will address the dream for your curriculum a bit later, but you can scribble a few
words down just so that you do not forget.
