Event Description 

Is the idea of developing a course on your own overwhelming and you just don’t know where to start? Do you want to learn how to incorporate inclusive teaching strategies into your course design? In this workshop, using backwards design and universal design for learning (UDL) techniques, you will decide on appropriate learning objectives, assessments, and strategically select course content. While we will briefly review backwards design and Bloom’s taxonomy, we hope that participants will have foundational knowledge in these pedagogical techniques. Participants should also come with an idea for a course they would be interested in designing in mind. This hands-on workshop will give you a chance to share your concerns, collaborate with others, and come away with the structure of a course you will (or would like to) teach. This workshop, while taught by different facilitators, will cover the same material as the other ATW: Course Design workshop from this semester. Rather than attending both, you should select one.
