Workshop delivery
Course Design Express is a 5-day asynchronous course designed to fast-track your course planning efforts. It enables you to develop or redesign a course by applying the principles of backward design, constructive alignment, and universal design for learning. During the CDE week, participants are required to work through a series of five flexible blocks. Each block takes about one hour to complete. Participants are encouraged to work through all five blocks across the week. By the end of the week, the facilitators host a virtual sharing session, where participants are asked to share an artifact from their course planning process. Optional pre-scheduled check-ins and group discussions are embedded throughout the course for participants who would like additional support and feedback. CDE has proved to be beneficial for faculty in the past as it has helped them develop course outlines and overcome challenges they face while designing course outlines. Developing courses is a journey and this course will facilitate you to work on different modules of a course step by step.
Those who successfully complete Course Design Express will be granted a certificate of completion for adding to their teaching dossier or professional portfolio.
