Ultraversity was the degree course for those who university did not fit. The design allowed students to focus on their own work, negotiate learning, submit work created as part of their job in the form of assessment 'patches' using the genre and media which suited them, stitch a patchwork of such pieces to make a final submission, celebrate their dissertation through an exhibition and all supported by an online community of inquiry.
