Five Design Considerations for Large Enrolment Courses

The numbers might vary depending on the context but high enrolment courses have one thing in common: they all have a high student-to-instructor ratio for the desired pedagogical outcomes. Do any of these scenarios sound familiar: a small enrolment intensive course has been doubled in student size, 250+ first year students trying to navigate their first big university course, asking questions and seeing a lecture theatre of blank stares, or intensive grading to get students timely feedback. These are just some of the challenges associated with large enrolment courses, yet large enrolment courses create opportunities for enhanced teaching and learning. Join us as we explore 5 course design considerations for large enrolment courses including: supporting students, interactive lectures, student assessments, connecting with students, and course organization.
