Event Date & Time

  • June 18, 2018 - June 22, 2018
    8:45 am - 5:00 pm

Event Description

The Course Design Intensive (CDI) is an intensive program in which participants work, individually and collaboratively, to design or re-design a course they are (or will be) teaching. Throughout the workshop, participants will acquire a broadened understanding of course design concepts, and will gain skills and tools they can apply to their own course. The focus of the workshop is on having participants work with the major concepts and questions that need to be considered as they design a course. Ultimately, the goal of the CDI is to support instructors as they work to enhance their students’ learning.

Once you have completed this initial registration process for the CDI, you will be asked to complete a pre-survey to establish your eligibility for the CDI, and to ensure we best meet your needs during the CDI. Once you’ve completed the pre-survey, you’ll be contacted by email to complete your registration.

Upon completion of the Course Design Intensive you will be able to:

1.  Approach the design of your course from a learning centered orientation.

2. Apply principles of alignment to develop learning outcomes and select aligned assessment methods and learning activities.

3. Assess various learning activities and technologies for their value in supporting the learning outcomes you have developed and propose how they may be incorporated into your course design.

4.  Engage in peer learning as a means of enhancing your teaching practice and student learning.

Registration Deposit:

In order to confirm your CDI registration, you will be required to pay a $60 deposit. This deposit is refundable (via direct deposit) and will be returned to you upon successful completion of the workshop. If you have to cancel before the workshop starts or if you are otherwise unable to complete the workshop once it has started, the deposit cannot be refunded or transferred to another date or person.

Non-UBC and/or members who are not a part of the teaching and learning community are welcome to attend; however, you will be charged a participation fee of $600, which is non-refundable. The participation fee will be collected at the first session of the Intensive and a receipt will be provided.
