Abstract

Shaping university ICT-related module curricula involves multiple stakeholders and formal and informal procedures. This paper identifies the main stakeholders of university curricula development and investigates how curricula are shaped. Based on semi- structured interviews with university teachers at Krakow University of Economics, Poland, and the University of South-Eastern Norway, the preliminary, inductive analysis of the qualitative data allows us to propose the Curriculum Redesign and Engagement for Advancing Tech Teaching and Education (CREATE) model of curricula changes. CREATE acknowledges the power of intrinsic motivation of the teacher, and it incorporates the dynamics of technology push factors and primary stakeholders (teachers, students, graduates, university, national and international institutions, and employers).
