The Importance of Course Design – Spring 2022

Donna Miguel teaching The Importance of Course Design

The faculty in this workshop winter quarter encouraged us to offer it again so more of their colleagues could participate. So, now is your chance! The last two years with remote instruction have challenged how we, as instructors, teach effectively. In the beginning of the pandemic, we scrambled to post our entire courses online as well as think strategically how to communicate effectively through screens. Even as we begin to trickle back to in-person instruction, expectations, thus instruction, has been forever changed. Have you thought about what the purpose would be for your Canvas sites? What are some pedagogical practices on Canvas we will continue to keep, and how can we implement purposeful design to reflect the reimagining of what our Canvas sites will look like?  After this workshop, participants will be able to:

      • Reflect on current course design choices and what may need re-envisioning as faculty use Canvas in any modality
      • Discover the link between their design choices and pedagogical purpose
      • Learn how intentional design choices impact student learning
