#1414 Extend Learning Delivery (ETDL) to level 6 and merge in aspects of Teaching and Subject Formation (TEAC) change request accepted
What if we extended Learning Delivery (ETDL) to level 6 and wrapped in the delivery part of Teaching and Subject Formation (TEAC)? See also CR#1413 - https://sfia-online.org/en/sfia-8/change-requests/update-teac-to-not-be-focussed-on-teaching-it If we remove the requirement for Teaching and Subject Formation (TEAC) to have a curriculum based on IT, then we could consider extending Learning Delivery (ETDL) (and other aspects of Teaching and Subject Formation (TEAC) can be argued as being covered by Learning Design and Development (TMCR) without change.
Possible version of Learning Delivery (ETDL) with the relevant parts of Teaching and Subject Formation (TEAC) merged in.
