10th Annual Course reDesign Institute, June 4-7, 2012

Are you a course instructor interested in designing a new course or revitalizing an existing course? Are you interested in learning more about a scholarly course design process that focuses on a learner-centred approach to instruction, and encourages students to become more actively involved in their learning? If so, consider joining your peers and support staff from across the University for the 10th annual Course reDesign Institute.

What is the Course ReDesign Institute?

Each year, up to 12 instructors from across campus participate in the CrDi to focus exclusively on the process and product of course design. During this highly interactive 4-day workshop, participants will have the opportunity to discuss and apply research on teaching and learning, and explore a variety of innovative instructional strategies, assessment approaches, and learning technologies to promote active engagement and encourage student success.

Format

The Institute is designed to be highly supportive, collegial and collaborative. An interactive group session will begin each day, followed by individual, flexible time in consultation with teaching and learning support staff or smaller collaborative activities. Participants will actively engage in the course redesign process throughout the workshop with their colleagues, and will present the individual outcomes of their redesign at the end of the Institute.

Eligibility

1. Must be teaching a course during the 2012/2013 academic year that is well-suited to the design/re-design process.
2. Must be eager to learn more about a scholarly and learner-centred approach to course design.
   
3. Must be able to commit to the full four days of the Institute.
