The Course Design Institute (CDI) provides faculty with an opportunity to focus on evidence-based practices in course design through a three-day set of interactive workshops.
CDI is ideal for faculty who are designing a new course, looking to revise an existing one, or are generally curious about how to maximize student learning and engagement.
Each day focuses on a different aspect of course design:
- Day 1: Course Learning Goals - What skills and ways of thinking should students be able to do by the end of the course?
- Day 2: Assessment & Grading - How can faculty design assessments that are challenging, provide equal opportunities for learning, and align with course goals?
- Day 3: In-Class Activities -What types of in-class activities engage students and motivate them to learn?
Participants leave CDI with robust plans for a syllabus, assessments, and classroom activities, as well as a new foundation in course design that can be applied to future courses.
Each day will include formal and informal discussions, focused individual work time, and a complimentary lunch.
The 2025 Institute will take place May 20 - May 22 from 9:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
