Course Design Foundations

During the Summer of 2022, Ryland assisted Fred Baker, Ph.D., PMP, ACP with the development of Course Design Foundations, the first course in a series of four workshops that leads to the completion of “Certificate on the Essentials of Course Design”.

The primary goal of this course is to provide a foundation for the backward design approach, reinforce and apply the alignment concept throughout a course, and to situate the course into the larger scope of a program. This workshop extends and applies concepts covered in the Introduction to Learning Objectives workshop.

Fred Baker and the team at the center for teaching and learning provided a complete analyze and a rough copy of the course content as a word document. Ryland had to work through proofreading content, chunking content into digestible modules, and lastly, developing content in modules in Canvas.
