Course Design Institute (In-Person)

Do you want to benefit from the feedback and collaboration that comes from finalizing your fall syllabi and course plans in community with colleagues? Join the Faculty Hub team and other colleagues for our August 11th - 12th Course Design Institute (CDI). Our CDI'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. 

The institute will be co-facilitated by Kylie Korsnack (Educational Developer), Andrew Bell (Technology Consultant), and Kitty Maynard (Director of the Faculty Hub) and will take place over two days: Thursday, August 11, and Friday, August 12 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the Faculty Hub. Morning coffee/tea and a boxed lunch will be provided to all participants. Please register to let us know you will be joining us!
