Over the last decade, there has been a significant increase in attention to the overall accountability of higher education in Australia, and this is expected to continue. Increased accountability has led to the need for more explicitly documented curricula. The curricula from ten health-related disciplines developed over the last five years in Australia were the basis of this study. Curriculum information modeling is an approach that allows for the dynamic nature of curricula since elements and their linkages can be moved about and reconnected into meaningful patterns. In addition, the models give disciplines and institutions the ability to effectively monitor curricula and draw comparisons in a more unified manner. Curriculum information models are an efficient innovation in the design and management of curricula in higher education and particularly in the health care disciplines. They rest on the principles of reusable elements and linkages independent of content that were first used in the design, construction, and maintenance of buildings. The translation of this approach to the higher education sector provides a higher level of interoperability of resources and a clearer pathway for content design within a curriculum.
在过去的十年中，人们对澳大利亚高等教育的整体问责制的关注度显著提高，预计这种情况还将继续下去。问责制的提高导致了对课程进行更明确记录的需求。本研究以过去五年在澳大利亚发展起来的十个与健康相关的学科的课程为基础。课程信息建模是一种方法，它允许课程的动态特性，因为元素及其链接可以移动和重新连接成有意义的模式。此外，这些模型使学科和机构能够以更统一的方式有效地监测课程并进行比较。课程信息模型是高等教育课程设计和管理方面的一项高效创新，特别是在医疗保健学科方面。它们基于可重复使用的元素和链接的原则，这些元素和链接独立于内容，最初用于建筑物的设计、构建和维护。将这种方法应用于高等教育领域，为资源的互操作性提供了更高的水平，并为课程中的内容设计提供了更清晰的途径。
