Hello to everyone on the "Design Learning" listserv! Below is a notice that I am sending out to various groups, including you, about my online short-course (8 weeks) on course design. Thought it might be helpful for everyone here to know about it. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Greetings! Do you… *Want to see your faculty take their teaching to the next level??* Or *Want to “gear yourself up” to offer a workshop on “Course Design”??* * * Here is a way you can do just that! During the past two years, I have put together an *online short course*that enables faculty members – in any institution, in any country – to intentionally design significant learning into their courses. When they design their courses in a learning-centered way, it leads to *greater student engagement* and *much better student learning*! Faculty who have taken this course have made the following comments about it: * “As the Nike ad says: ‘just do it’. It will change your perspective about course development, management and assessment in ways you would never dream of.”* * “Though I had dealt with the basics of ICD [Integrated Course Design] prior to taking the course, this course really solidified my understanding of ICD and particularly how it is implemented in terms of scheduling units and work in classes.”* * * *“I strongly recommend the course, particularly because the feedback from the teacher and others in the course is so valuable in the design process.”* You can find more information about this online course at: www.deefinkandassociates.com/index.php/onlinecourse/ Note: - We offer an institutional discount if you have multiple enrollments. - Or you may want to enroll one to three people, so they can “test the waters.” · *Next Two Starting Dates: * Ø *Early January 2013* Ø *Early June 2013* Let me know if you have any questions. We would love to work with some of your faculty on learning-centered course design! *********************** L.
