(Re)Creating Courses for Significant Learning
Dr. Paul Quick, Center for Teaching and Learning

Consider this FLC the course-design equivalent of “This Old House,” “Extreme Makeover,” or “Field of Dreams.” But if you build it, will they learn? Starting out with the premise that most pedagogical problems and challenges can be addressed through careful course design, this FLC will begin with some reading, discussion, and reflection about what we want our students to know and be able to do after they take our respective classes. From there, we will use “backward course design” to revise old courses or develop new courses. The moderator will offer Dr. Dee Fink’s model on integrated course design found in Creating Significant Learning Experiences as one possible route to take, but the group will ultimately decide how to proceed. At the end of the FLC, each group member will have a fully designed new or existing course.
