COURSE DESIGN 101: The fundamentals (TWPLSD)
This session aligns with the Design dimension of the TeachWell Framework.
This session introduces colleagues to the principles of constructive alignment, drawing from the work of educational psychologist John Biggs to support good course design that in turn enhances student learning. It is ideal for those new to course coordination, and/or for those who wish simply to deepen their understanding and practice of course design through the scholarship of teaching and learning.
