CTRL’s Course Design Institute (CDI) is a series of workshops and supplemental materials to support faculty and staff as they design courses and learning environments optimized for equity, engagement, and deep learning. It is meant for anyone aiming to revamp an existing course, create a completely new course, or enhance their teaching practice, whether teaching in-person, online, or in a hybrid environment. The institute will introduce you to equitable, evidence-based practices in course design and teaching while incorporating ample opportunities for collaboration, reflection, and application. By the end of the institute, you will have developed a complete course plan and additional instructional materials and ideas to implement directly into your course(s). 

Learning Outcomes

  • Develop a course plan using backward design in which your assessments and learning experience are closely aligned with your course learning outcomes
  • Apply equitable, student-centered, evidence-based instructional strategies to your teaching and course development
