Designing Integrated Courses for Significant Learning | ||
 |
Teach a course that needs a complete renovation? Need help developing a new course? Using the principle of backward course design, this FLC will focus on revising old courses or developing new courses using Dr. Dee Fink’s ideas of integrated course design. Initially, we will begin learning about integrated course design by reading Fink’s Creating Significant Learning Experiences. Then, by defining specific learning goals for specific classes, each group member will begin to design a course that links those explicit goals to learning activities, assessment, and evaluation. Discussions will encourage participants to critically examine exactly what we want our students to be able to know and be able to do five years after taking our respective classes. Tentatively, each participant will produce a new or revised course syllabus, sample assignments, learning activities, and ideas for assessment and evaluation. Along the way, the group will provide formative feedback on each participant’s course in progress. Facilitator: Paul Quick, Center for Teaching and Learning
