Questions What issues may arise for your faculty in devising your own interpretation of the OU UG levels framework? You might want to think about the issues linked to learner autonomy, articulating learning and skills, ICT, IL, accessibility, reflective learning terms of progression and engaging with the process of implementation. How might you begin to address these? Aspirational or actual reflection of existing practices. What resources would you need to help you to achieve this? From COBE, the library, guides, booklets, facilitated workshops etc.
