EDUC-4009Course Design and Planning
In this course, students will apply design frameworks to curriculum design and unit planning. Students will apply their knowledge of the relationship between learning outcomes, assessment, instructional methods and learning models to design a course of study directly related to their subject specialty. Through the application of knowledge structures that are accurately and meaningfully organized, students will use a sequential process of formulating, selecting, and organizing course materials to engage learners and support learning transfer. Frameworks such as Backward Design serve as a conceptual map for planning or revising a course, syllabus, or lesson.
