Description

I think we need to recognise that we have two things: a curriculum and a presentation of a curriculum. I want to raise some questions about the latter, and whether we need more than one way of presenting the underlying material. In particular as an experienced professional I expect to be presented with a high-density set of information, probably largely textual, and to be able to rapidly read and scroll through it. If I were presented with this:

I would roll my eyes and go elsewhere.

For quite a lot of CYF material there is a hierarchy of information presented as simple and/or decorated pages where the is no random access to a particular page (you have to follow the hierarchy) and you can't see the whole lot in one go. I can see how this may make sense in a classroom environment, but for information transfer it is horribly inefficient. We are training people to work in a profession which spends all day staring at dense pages of text. We shouldn't be scared of wordier pages.

I would hope that we could have a single source of content published in two (or more) ways, rather than duplicating the source
