:Curriculum development can seem like a daunting task! On one hand, it is important for curriculum to grow and develop in order to take advantage of changing trends and help to better train our students for industry. On the other hand, '''great care must be taken to not make changes in course curriculum without considering the impact on other courses''', and to make certain that '''content and learning skills are maintained in the learning outcomes for courses until a major curriculum review and possible curriculum revisions are warranted'''. Other challenges include limited time frames for all faculty to meet at the same time to discuss curriculum issues.

:This WIKI hopes to encourage on-line repository of OPS stream course discussions to provide to help view all courses and to foster communication between faculty members. Faculty members can simply view and contribute freely to the the curriculum discussion. To help keep the discussion on track, a '''Triage framework''' has will be used to prioritize suggested improvements into '''short-term''', '''long-term''', and '''wish-list''' categories. In this way, faculty can sort out easy to perform changes or "tweaks" to courses and foster discussion among courses in the OPS stream. It is hoped that this method allows for transparency, and allows for an encouraging and welcoming area for faculty to make suggestions / improvements to course curriculum.
