Designing Courses for Impact Using Backwards Design and Integrated Course Design
Hosted By: Rita Shae-Van Fossen, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Management, H. Wayne Huizenga College of Business & Entrepreneurship
Date & Time:
Wednesday, March 25th, 2020
12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
Location:
Main Campus- DeSantis 5026
Description:
For faculty teaching a new course, the most common course design approach used by faculty is the content-centered approach (Fink, 2003). This approach uses a textbook table of contents or the expertise an instructor to identify topics to cover, designs lectures, activities, and assignments to teach, and assesses the student work completed. The content-centered approach simplifies course design but focuses mainly on content knowledge, which is the type of knowledge that is most easily forgotten (Fink, 2003).
This hands-on session helps participants design courses that move away from just content and design courses have the potential to impact students’ learning years after the course is over via two well-established course design models. Wiggins and McTighe’s (2005) Backward Course Design utilizes the old adage, begin with the end in mind. Fink’s (2003) integrated course design recognizes that instructors need to not only identify and consider situational factors in developing courses but also align the instructor’s learning goals, feedback, and assessment methods, and teaching and learning activities so they are integrated in a way that supports and reinforces each other.
