WHAT IS THE COURSE DESIGN INSTITUTE?
The Course Design Institute (CDI), happening July 29-August 2, is a week-long, immersive experience focused on designing courses for significant learning – that is, learning that has the potential to change students’ lives in lasting and important ways. The Institute brings faculty members together to engage in meaningful guided discussions, hands-on workshops, and working sessions to design or redesign a course in which all components (outcomes, assessments, and activities) align to result in significant learning.
WHAT WILL I GET OUT OF IT?
Though active participation and mindful engagement in this Institute, you will – in addition to completing a draft of the high-level design for your course – be better-prepared to:
WHAT IS THE FORMAT OF THE SUMMER CDI?
Most of this institute will happen face-to-face, and will include guided discussions, hands-on workshops, and working sessions led by the Office of Teaching and Learning staff. However, there will be asynchronous components as well as we draw upon what we've learned over the past few years to make the most of both the online and in-person modalities. The institute will culminate in a share-and-celebrate event on the final day of the institute.
Please note:
WHO IS ELIGIBLE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE CDI?
University of Denver faculty interested in designing or redesigning a course that will be taught during the 2024-2025 school year are encouraged to apply. We hope to be able to accommodate all faculty members who are interested. However, capacity is limited, so if we are not able to accommodate everyone, priority will be given to faculty who have not yet taken the CDI.
