Faculty Development at CITL

This workshop will help participants explore the kinds of learning objectives they may choose for the courses they are designing.  Facilitators will lead a discussion about what makes a strong learning objective, and participants will have a chance to brainstorm some of their own. In groups, participants will also be able to compare and constructively critique learning objectives and consider the balance of types of objectives that they are planning to include in their course.

The summer course design series will introduce you to the notion of backward course design, then use the backward design approach to guide you through the major steps of your course design. Originally created for graduate students about to teach their first full course, the series has proven useful to any instructor designing or redesigning a course, or even wanting to take a fresh look at an old course.

You don't need to attend every workshop in the series to benefit, but the more you attend, the more of a head start you'll have on your course design.

* Applies for the following CITL Teaching Certificates

  • Cheelan Bo-Linn Teaching Excellence Certificate
