Introduction to educational packages
The educational packages have been designed to facilitate the integration of future-focused topics into
maritime curricula. The packages have the flexibility to ensure the relevance and customisation according
to the varied needs of the students in all maritime education and training institutions, whilst remaining
considerate of the intended learning outcomes. In support of the utilisation of these educational packages,
the key focus for guidance relates to three documents:
1. The Toolbox Design Guide - this guide supports the tutor as they explore the Toolbox Template
and Educational Package Toolbox by providing further and more detailed explanations of each
section. The specific goal of the guide is to support the planning, delivery, and assessment of each
package (Figure 2). [link]
2. The Toolbox Template – this is the framework around which all educational packages are written
to ensure a consistent approach (Figure 3). [Toolbox Design Guide, page 12]
3. Educational Package Toolbox – these have been specifically written for each educational
package. The template has been populated with key, package-specific information and guidance
(Figure 4).
