Course Design
• What does it mean to you when we talk about course design?
• What is your approach?
Teaching Commons
Learning Objectives
• What are learning objectives?
• Please turn to your neighbor, collaboratively write and/or share one learning objective based on your course.
Teaching Commons
• How do we know if students have mastered the learning?
• What kind of evidence do students have to produce to demonstrate their learning?
Teaching Commons
• Let’s take a look at our learning objectives - can you refine your objectives?
Teaching Commons
What are learning outcomes• Learning outcomes are what a student can do as a
result of a learning experience (course/program). (What a student will learn as opposed to what a teacher wants to teach.)
• To do what? To perform a specific task at a given level of
competence under a certain situation.• Learning Outcomes are designed from the student’s
perspective.
Teaching Commons
Learning and Teaching
• How do instructors support/facilitate their learning?
• What do students have to do to get there?• What materials, resources, media are required?• How do students know all these?
Teaching Commons
Align your course components
• Go back to your learning outcomes
• Suggest some teaching and learning activities and assessment tasks consistent with the learning outcomes.
Teaching Commons
Constructive AlignmentConstructivismConstructivist theory – learners use their own activity to construct their knowledge or other outcome.
AlignmentReflects the fact that the learning activity in the intended learning outcomes needs to be activated in the teaching if the outcome is to be achieved and in the assessment method to verify that the outcome has in fact been achieved.
