The .PALET. project, funded by JISC, aims to transform curriculum design at Cardiff University by implementing a single-source approach to programme data. Through improved electronic tools and streamlining processes, the initiative seeks to create attractive, innovative, and academically rigorous programmes. This modern approach replaces outdated paper processes, addressing issues like data inconsistency and lack of standards, ensuring efficient management for both students and academic schools. Key outcomes include better programme approval processes and enhanced engagement in curriculum design.
