What Faculty Are Saying
"One of the differences that was apparent was the obvious joy the students had in learning"
"I got great results as I learned to mentor students. The trust between student and teacher grew immensely since they viewed me as helping them learn."
"My students stopped questioning me on how to achieve a given grade. Instead they knew from the rubric what was expected and outdid themselves to perform at high levels - all without prodding."

Overview
The Course Design Institute offers practical strategies, techniques, and tips for creating activities that get students actively engaged in learning.
- Learn approaches to teaching and learning that improve student success.
- Be rewarded by seeing your students excited and self-motivated to excel.
- Integrate learning theory into the course design process that challenges students to develop essential learning skills as well as master course-specific content.
No workshop is a "magic bullet" cure; however this event offers intensely practical guidance and techniques that you can apply immediately in your class.
Participants will:
-
practice integrating a learning methodology and learning theory into the design of their content-specific curriculum.
-
set criteria for assessing the quality of curricula and aligning it with QEP.
-
link assessment strategies to specific activity types for improving student success.
-
identify and assess key learning skills students must develop to meet general education guidelines.
-
learn to write quality critical thinking questions.
-
explore how learning journals and portfolios can be integrated into curriculum.
-
receive real-time feedback while working through the design process.
-
discover key design features which increase student success.

Students are put in a situation where they take responsibility for their own learning. Rather than memorizing information, students develop the tools to understand, assess, and apply new information in different contexts.
