Workshop on  Outcomes-Based Course Design

Workshop Summary:

Our students will learn more, and more deeply, and remember what they learn for a longer time, if we focus our classes on what students will do and learn, instead of what we will say. But how can we do this? This workshop is a practical session that will show you how to make the change to focusing on student learning—and see what that means for planning each class day. Although it seems like a big change, it is one you can make gradually, and one that ultimately creates a lot of freedom and space for learning.

Workshop Length:

Typically a 50-minute workshop with time for 10 minutes of questions in a 1-hour slot, but this also works well in combination with The Content Monster or, if a morning or afternoon is available, a 2.5-3 hour “Evidence-Based Teaching: From Theory to Practice” session that starts with the evidence generally and gradually moves toward faculty making specific plans for their own courses.
