Course Management Systems

April 23, 2009, presented by Bernadette Gloeb. The seminar included a brief overview of the two systems available at the U (WebVista and Moodle) some of their basic characteristics and tools; and showed some best practices from current SPH courses.

Learner-Centered Course Design

February 25, 2009, developed in partnership with the Digital Media Center.
We reviewed the rationale for and steps involved in an integrated, learner-centered course design process. Participants reflected on their own course design process and teaching, beginning to consider ways to improve and capitalize on their strengths as instructors.

• Compare and contrast content-centered and learner-centered approaches to course design
• Formulate course level goals that are connected to a taxonomy of significant learning
• Critically evaluate alignment between course level goals, feedback, and assessment, learning activities, and learning activity objectives
