Course Design Clinic

Two Upcoming Course Design Clinic Offerings

What is Course Design Clinic?

Course Design Clinic, hosted by the Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning (CETL), is a hands-on workshop that guides instructors through the process of building or refreshing their course.   

During the session, you will be guided through several stages of course design to include: 

• Identifying goals and learning outcomes  
• Planning for assessment of student learning 
• Designing individual instructional activities and individual class meetings 
• Organizing the syllabus and schedule

Through working with CETL and staff from partnering units, you will receive guidance on rigorous instructional design, assignment design, assessment strategies, active learning strategies, and the technological tools available to you when moving through all stages of course design and implementation, including Generative AI. The goal of this clinic is to get you to think through multiple levels of granularity for your course and complete much of the planning at once while having instructional experts on hand. You will leave the clinic well on your way to having a complete course, syllabus, and task list for implementation.
