Course Design Express
Spaces Remaining: 34
Inspired by our signature Course Design@Queen’s Institute, Course Design Express is an abridged program designed to fast track your course planning efforts. Participants will apply principles of backward design, constructive alignment, and universal design for learning to develop or re-design of one of their courses. Principles of course design will be used to inform all instructional and assessment decision-making. Each cohort will kick off on a Monday, at which point participants will receive access to an onQ site. Here, participants will work through a series of five flexible blocks. Each block takes about one hour to complete. Participants are encouraged to work through all five blocks across the week, ending their work by the Friday.
