What is course design?听

So much more than selecting and organizing content, course design is a process of thoughtful engagement with a range of pedagogical questions, such as: 听

  • What should students be expected to know, value, and do? 听

  • How will the instructor and students know if the learning outcomes of the course are achieved?听听

  • What strategies will support engagement in learning?听
