What Is Teaching by Design?Principles

• Ideal Impact

• Backward Design

• Constructivism

• Alignment

Practice• Lifelong learning orientation.• Tasks support complex learning.• Builds on core course concepts.

• Begins with identification of cognitive, affective & skill-based student learning outcomes central to mastery of course focus.

• Students construct meaning through relevant learning tasks.

• Teaching, learning & assessment activities built to support intended outcomes for range of students.

Constructing Meaning

What did I learn today?- how did I learn?- why did I learn?- who helped me learn?

What ideas should I connect?- among readings & lectures- across course /courses- with community & work

What (and how) am I learning?- knowledge sources- unlearn & relearn

- ways of interacting

How does course connect? - in terms of making meaning- to a “real world” audience- to discipline / profession

How do course elements align?-with homework & class activities-with feedback-with assessments

How does students learning build?- for constructing meaning- for transferring learning- for related outcomes

Design is a whole brain process:

Empathetic. Passionate.

Creative, Practical,

Rational & Analytic.

We aim to foster these.

Environmental Factors play a significant role in creating learning environment likely to bring about ideal

outcomes and intended student learning outcomes.

Imagine Ideal Course Outcome

Ideal Course Outcome• What is the distinctive educational impact you

would like for your course to have on your students – tomorrow, and 5 or 15 years out?

• If you were a student in your course, what would you hope to be able to do by the end of / because of preparation & participation?

Does the learning you hope for align with the teaching and learning your students will be

engaged in while in your course?
