To think about...

Program Content:

? Why are you undertaking this learning - what outcomes do you want to achieve?

? Is this part of a larger project or independent of other initiatives?  Is this a single event or a series?

? Who is the target audience? How many people will be involved?

? What do people most need to learn? Are there particular issues that need to be addressed?

? Have you reviewed our general public programs? Does a particular course outline seem to address your areas of interest?

? Would you like to have a program tailored to best address your purpose or preferences?

? Are there any organisational parameters or themes to be integrated with the content?

? Do you want to consult with participants for input to help shape program content and or learning activity focus?

? How many events do you envisage - one or more? How much time between multiple events?

Timing:

? When are you hoping to hold this event or start this project?  If multiple events, how often?

? Any preferred dates? Preferred day/s of the week? Is there any  urgency or other activities to schedule around?

? Have you allowed sufficient time for people to adjust rosters etc.?

? Do you need to specify timing for the event to fit particular schedules?

Funding:

? Do you already have internal approval for funding or do you still need to apply for funding? When will funds be available?

? What impact does your budget have on course duration, participant numbers or timing?
