We'll kick off the summer course design series with an overview of backward design, a simple course design method that will help you ensure proper alignment of objectives, assessments, and activities within your course. We'll also introduce Fink's Taxonomy of Significant Learning as a useful guide for making your course stand out.
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
