OES was selected as learning design partner through a competitive tender process and, following the successful launch, continues to support the growth of Auckland Online.<\/p>\n<h3>Our client<\/h3>\n<p>Ranked 81<sup>st<\/sup>\u00a0in the QS World Rankings (2021), the University of Auckland is New Zealand\u2019s flagship, research-led university.\u00a0For the launch of Auckland Online \u2013 \u201ca new way for students to study at the University of Auckland\u201d \u2013 it was essential to uphold the university\u2019s reputation for world-class learning.<\/p>\n<h3>The challenge<\/h3>\n<p>Course quality and speed to market were key criteria in Auckland Online\u2019s search for a learning design partner. Thanks to a large team and a proven collaborative process, OES was able to offer efficient learning design expertise without compromising the academic integrity and quality of the overall program.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPartnering with our best practice, highly experienced team means your learning design is in safe hands. By demonstrating both capacity and quality, OES won the competitive tender process,\u201d said Aliki Christou, Product Manager of OES Learning Design &#038; Development.<\/p>\n<p>Work began immediately to commence designing and developing the university\u2019s first set of online postgraduate qualifications, as well as supporting tools that empowered students to engage with the online learning environment.<\/p>\n<p>Following the successful launch, the partnership continues to strengthen as Auckland Online scales its program offering.<\/p>\n<h3>The approach<\/h3>\n<p>OES gained a thorough understanding of Auckland Online\u2019s learning and business objectives before tailoring a solution. A key benefit of partnering with OES is its service offering, which includes a dedicated Product Manager overseeing the entire relationship.<\/p>\n<p>As Auckland Online\u2019s portfolio growth continues, Aliki Christou oversees a core team of learning designers who work closely with academics to tailor content for each qualification. The learning designers are supported by multimedia specialists and editorial specialists to transform course content into engaging online learning experiences.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs Product Manager for Auckland Online, I am involved across the entire portfolio, liaising with the Auckland Online Portfolio Manager and all academic staff,\u201d Aliki explained. \u201cWe follow a staged co-design process that has been tested and refined during a decade of partnerships with universities, helping us to engage effectively and efficiently with all staff.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For each course, a blueprint workshop is crucial in determining the approach for assessments and feedback. OES repurposes existing learning materials wherever possible, adapting the form and content for the online environment. Academic staff retain oversight throughout the course design, including any videos, interactives and podcasts that are required.<\/p>\n<p>For the Master of Educational Leadership, our learning designers collaborated with lecturer and industry professional Fiona McGrath from the Faculty of Education and Social Science. Her feedback demonstrates OES\u2019 commitment to respectfully translate academic expertise into engaging online experiences: \u201cIt has definitely been a pleasure working with you as you all spun your\u00a0magic\u00a0to provide a better interactive, exciting online course, while maintaining the integrity of my words, thoughts, feelings, and expressions.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Outcomes<\/h3>\n<p>As well as delivering quality at scale in time for launch, OES continues to be Auckland Online\u2019s trusted partner for learning design services.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe initial design partnership created a set of courses that typifies the essence of Auckland Online as it grows. Our can-do attitude and willingness to share knowledge was also valued, helping to upskill staff in terms of online best practice,\u201d said Aliki.<\/p>\n<p>As this successful partnership continues, a number of new learning solutions are in development, ranging from full online qualifications to micro-credentials to \u2018mini projects\u2019 such as videos and infographics that support the student experience.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/oes.prod.oes-anchorbuild.com\/customised-education-solutions\/\">Find out more<\/a>\u00a0about how OES tailors Customised Education Solutions
