Enhancing Brain Health: Motor Interventions and Brain Plasticity in Aging Pei-Fang Tang, PhD PT, Professor School and Graduate Institute of Physical Therapy, College of Medicine, National Taiwan University

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 investigate Fink's Taxonomy of Significant Learning, which can help make your course a truly significant learning experience for your students.

This workshop focuses on the Universal Design for Learning (UDL) framework as a means for making design choices that ensure that all students are able to meet course and developmental goals. We will discuss concepts such as the hidden curriculum, multiple means of engagement, representation, and expression/action, and student autonomy.

Learning objectives are the basis of any good course. Your students, after all, are supposed to learn new knowledge or skills after completing your course. In this workshop, you’ll (1) explore key elements to help craft effective learning objectives and (2) practice crafting learning objectives using Bloom’s Taxonomy at the appropriate level.

This workshop focuses on developing assessments designed to help students achieve the learning objectives of your class. We'll examine different types of assessments and consider their strengths and downsides in the context of your course. Attendees will develop sample assessments that are appropriate for their learning objectives, with a focus on long-term learning goals

This workshop explores different types of student motivation, and how we as educators can help students make the best use of it during our classes. This can help students find more intrinsic motivation to excel in their assignments and coursework, and to feel more confident in taking responsibility for their own learning.

This workshop aims to increase your repertoire of in-class activities. Come learn a few techniques in this workshop, and also learn how to find even more techniques.

Whether your courses rely on more traditional multiple-choice exams, or are writing intensives, or assign students creative projects, giving valuable feedback is essential for their growth and learning. We will discuss different features of valuable feedback, and practice giving students feedback at different course/ability levels.

This workshop ties the topics of the previous workshops together by discussing and crafting a syllabus for your newly designed course. We focus on the necessary logistical information for the syllabus, items to include to set student expectations, syllabus language and tone, and how to craft a course schedule with assessments, readings, and other ancillary materials.
