Design to Align: Achieving Course Alignment and Improving Student Outcomes

Alignment is the intentional connection between course outcomes, learning objectives, assessments, activities, and materials. Course alignment builds a strong cohesive framework, helps ensure that both you and your students have accurate expectations about what will be taught in your course, and that students are practicing and demonstrating the skills you want them to learn. Join us for this interactive workshop where we will guide you through designing or refining course outcomes and learning objectives and aligning them with assessments, activities, and materials.
