Dean's Office Faculty Workshop: Course Design… Backwards! (60 min) | transcript | presentation slides
April 2022
Elizabeth Topper Golub, PhD, MEd, MPH (OPAL, Epi); Amy Pinkerton, MIDT (CTL)
Have you ever wondered whether your course was designed backward?
Typically, faculty start the course design process by identifying the content that they want their students to absorb, but there is a more effective, goal-oriented method called Backwards Design. In this workshop, we will explore aspects of Backwards Course Design, which focuses on the end goals, or learning objectives, of the course. We will discuss the importance of starting with learning objectives, what it means for a learning objective to be SMART, and how to design assessments that align with those objectives.

This was a 2024 Picnic PD (Professional Development) with BSPH CTL summer series workshop. Human beings crave a sense of belonging and a desire to feel like an accepted member of a group. Fostering this type of welcoming learning environment is important as it allows students to feel emotionally connected and highly motivated to engage on a deeper level with course content. However, creating this type of environment can be especially difficult when teaching an online class. This workshop recording goes over teaching strategies for online courses that build a feeling of community which allows students to engage with course material in a meaningful way. You’ll walk away from this workshop recording with tangible artifacts to transform the learning environment of online classes from disengagement to a place of social belonging.
