Georgetown University developed a modular, online, multi-disciplinary, and multi-purpose standards curriculum for graduate and undergraduate students.

Standards for Everyone: A Modular Curriculum

A set of course modules developed by Georgetown University are intended to stimulate recognition of the relevance of standards in a wide range of subjects. The modules are presented as separate scripts for lectures, and an extract from the project technical report discussing the thinking behind the modules and a draft syllabus are available. 

A final summary paper for this award is available.
