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 session will focus on how the Community of Inquiry (COI) and Universal Design for Learning (UDL) frameworks can intersect to support engaging learners with the curriculum and with each other. We will discuss pedagogical strategies attached to COI and UDL to create and maintain a positive learning climate. This climate – one that is authentic, intellectually challenging, motivating, and promotes a sense of purpose and belonging – sets the scaffolding upon which students can master the subject matter while also building their skills as life-long, expert learners.
