TI 0951 - Course Design Program
Course Description
Description
The Course Design Program uses evidence-based practical strategies to help inform and direct your course design. The online program includes student-centred learning topics to help you through complete course designs or re-designs, developing your course outline, planning assessments, and promoting student engagement. The flexible format uses both online asynchronous and synchronous approaches for participants to engage with the material, each other and the facilitators. This program will help you to develop an overall course design plan and identify practical strategies for designing, teaching, and evaluating your course, whether your course is online, in the classroom, or blended.
This program is open to graduate students, postdoctoral scholars, academic staff, and non-academic staff with the University of Calgary.
