Course Redesign Revitalization
with Barbara J. Millis
In this highly interactive workshop, faculty will apply principles of "backwards design" (goals, assessment, and then activities and assignments) to re-envision their courses so that students become more actively involved in their own learning. Learning to teach more effectively also means teaching more efficiently. Participants will review and apply research on learning; they will find out how to use a variety of teaching methods, assessment/evaluation approaches, technology, and other tools to create engaged learning environments. Without critical reflection and analysis, teachers tend to teach as they were taught. This workshop focuses on breaking this cycle by helping faculty gain the knowledge and skills to help them create courses that challenge and support students in their learning.
