The Art of Alignment: Strategies for Optimal Course Design In-Person / Online

In this session you will be introduced to the concept of alignment as it relates to course design. Alignment is the idea of critical course elements working together to ensure that students achieve the desired learning outcomes. You will learn how to write an effective learning objective using best practices, suggest course elements that align with that objective, and evaluate course elements for alignment.

Upon completion of this learning experience, participants will be able to:

  • Define the concept of alignment as it pertains to curriculum design and development.
  • Write appropriately stated learning objectives using best practices (e.g., learning taxonomy)
  • Suggest course materials and assessments that are aligned with learning objectives.
  • Evaluate various parts of a course for alignment.

Attendees are encouraged to bring a copy of your syllabus.
