Course Design Institute (Hybrid)

Are you planning to design a new course or redesign a previously taught course before the next academic year? Join the Faculty Hub team and other colleagues to get a jump start on course design and free up summertime for other activities. Our institute’s focus on significant learning outcomes will help you gain focus, creative energy, and useful feedback. We hope participants will leave the institute with a new or improved course design process, and with a course that they are excited to teach and that they are confident will have a significant impact on student learning.  

What is a course design institute? 

The Faculty Hub's Course Design Institute (CDI) empowers instructors to leverage two evidence-based frameworks for course design – integrated design (Fink, Creating Significant Learning Experiences, 2013) and backward design (Wiggins & McTighe, Understanding by Design, 2005) – as tools for designing or redesigning one of their courses.  Participants will learn about each framework, participate in workshops, engage in cross-disciplinary conversation with colleagues, and be provided with dedicated time and space to make significant progress on a syllabus and course schedule for one of their courses. We hope participants will leave the institute with a better understanding of best practices for course design, a detailed plan including revised learning objectives, assessments, and activities for one of their courses, and the tools to apply the same course design process to other courses in the future. 

NOTE: We've changed the format of this session to hybrid, so participants may choose to join sessions virtually (via Zoom) or in-person at the Faculty Hub (3rd Floor, Boatwright Library). Coffee, tea, and snacks will be available for in-person participants. Those joining virtually will be sent a Zoom link prior to the session. Please register to let us know you will be joining us!


Can't make this session or wish to wait until closer to the fall semester to participate?
We will be offering another in-person CDI Thursday, August 11, and Friday, August 12 from 9:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. each day in the Faculty Hub. Click here to find out more and register for our August CDI.
