Center for Transformative Teaching to host session on course design

EVC Office to offer workshop on equity in undergraduate programs

The Center for Transformative Teaching will host a session on making courses more user-friendly for students from 10:30 a.m. to noon Nov. 20 via Zoom.

In this session, faculty will learn about the different ways course design impacts the cognitive load of students and receive practical suggestions for improvement. The last part of the session will involve a hands-on activity where instructors can work with other faculty to assess the user-friendlessness of one of their current courses. This session will be of benefit to all instructors, especially those who are designing new courses, doing major redesigns of existing ones or struggling with lots of housekeeping questions from their students.

If you have questions, contact Amy Ort. More information is available online.
