THE INGREDIENTS FOR
GREAT COURSE DESIGN


Distance and
classroom learning
Where to begin?
What do you consider first?
More on designing…..
The problem with teaching
College* teaching is perhaps the only occupation
in the world for which no specific training is
required. The profession of scholarship is rich in
prerequisites for entry, but not that of
instruction.

* And any non K-12 teaching
What is teaching?


To cause learning to happen
Design Directs Learning
• What is learned: what is presented, when it
 is presented, how it is presented

• Whether knowledge can be applied: how
 the learner engages with the information

• Participation: some learning styles engage
 some students more than others
Course Overview

• Class 1: Overview. Umbrellas and Alignment


• Class 2: How to design a course


• Class 3: Technologies for course design - online

 and classroom learning
Teacher or Learner Centered?
• What is the most important thing for the
 student to learn?

                     OR

• What do I hope the student will be able to
 do, 3 months after this course is over?
Integration and The Umbrella
Recipe for baking a course
    GOAL + ASSESSMENT + CONTEXT = DESIGN

(what is the one thing I hope the student can do after this
class?)
+
(what do they have to do, demonstrate or apply after
completing this class?)
+
(who is there, how long, what are the limits and constraints
present)
= COURSE!
GOALS!
Goals!

“What is the one thing a student would remember
from this course, 2-3 years (months) after the
course is over?

“What would distinguish students who have taken
this course from students who have not?”

“If nothing else, I’d be happy if students came
away knowing this one thing”
Three main qualities:
• It expresses a core value – the main essential and
 fundamental thing you want to get across.

• It should be ONE thing, not several different
 things.

• It should be achievable – realistic, doable given
 your skill level, length of course, level of skill of
 participant, etc.
Breaking it down

Context is Everything
1. Specific Context of the Situation
How many students are in the class? Is it beginner, advanced, mixed? How long and frequent
are the class meetings? How will the course be delivered: live, online, or in a classroom or lab?
Is it in-house, public, organizational?

2. Outcomes, Deliverables, Results?
What learning expectations are placed on this course or curriculum by: the school, work place,
profession, society? Something have to be achieved, tested, measured, etc?

3. Nature of the Subject
Is it experiential, practical, theoretical? Is it hard to learn? Does it need practice? Are there
controversies about it in the field?

4. Characteristics of the Learners
Are the learners working, family, professionals, students? Do they have prior knowledge,
experience, etc? What are their learning goals, expectations, and preferred learning styles?

5. Characteristics of the Teacher
What are your feelings about the subject? students? Teaching? What level of knowledge or
familiarity do you have with this subject? What are your strengths in teaching?
