Self-paced, online, or in-person course design support!
Our learning-centered approach to course design considers how alignment among learning outcomes, assessment strategies, and teaching strategies supports students’ learning.
Do you have a new course coming up, or want to redesign one of your existing courses? Our course design offerings are available in three formats to suit different schedules and approaches to learning. Choose the format that works best for you now or try a different format each time you plan a course. Compare all three formats.
A learning-centered approach
Our approach to course design has student learning at the centre and recognizes that course context has a bearing on course design decisions. With context in mind, instructors are encouraged to think about what content students will engage with, what the learning outcomes should be, what assessment tasks will capture students’ achievement of the learning outcomes, and what teaching strategies will be used to engage students in working toward the achievement of the learning outcomes.
Learning outcomes, assessment strategies, and teaching strategies must be aligned.
