Registration for this Course Design Self-Study IS open - you can register using this link to our registration survey in Qualtrics. But first, please see below for more details.
WHAT IS THE COURSE DESIGN INSITUTE SELF-STUDY?
The Course Design Institute Self-Study (CDI-SS) is a set of online, asynchronous activities and materials focused on designing courses for significant learning – that is, learning that has the potential to change students’ lives in lasting and important ways. Similar to the in-person version of the Course Design Institute that runs during the summer, this self-study supports faculty in designing or redesigning a course in which all components (outcomes, assessments, and activities) align to result in significant learning.
The self-study will take about 20 hours to complete, and will be delivered via Canvas. While this is self-paced (which means participants can complete the course activites at whatever pace is most supportive to them), it is designed so that faculty who are teaching this coming Winter (and would therefore benefit from completing the entire self-study before the end of the year) could complete the entire self-study in 2 weeks by spending an average of 2-3 hours per day on course activities.
There is a $500 stipend available to faculty members who complete and submit the key “deliverables” (a course alignment table along with a completed self-assessment rubric) by January 6.
WHAT WILL I GET OUT OF IT?
Participants who actively engage in this self-study will – in addition to completing a draft of the high-level design for their course – be better-prepared to:

The Teaching Online - Advanced Practice Short Course is designed to help faculty fine-tune their teaching strategies, student engagement, and Canvas skills. The course includes robust assessment strategies and active learning techniques such as multimedia, measuring individual and group learning outcomes, technology integrations that promote social and cognitive engagement, and advanced Canvas applications, visuals, and templates. If you do not teach using Canvas, this course may not be affective for you.
Join us for a fun course that will take your teaching to a new level. The course starts Monday, December 5 and is self-paced through December. Upon completion of the course requirements, particpants will receive a stipend.

OTL Conference Room (Anderson Academic Commons 345)
In this 90-minute, interactive workshop, you’ll be introduced to concept of designing for significant learning – that is, learning that has the potential to change students’ lives in lasting and important ways. You’ll also become familiar with two tools/frameworks – the Taxonomy of Significant Learning and the Three-Column Alignment Table - that can support you in this design work, and have the opportunity to practice applying these tools/frameworks in thinking about the design of your own courses.
