DIGITAL REFORMATTING OF YOUR EXISTING COURSE CONTENT IS NOT SUFFICIENT
Start Here:
Rethink Your Course1. What are your learning objectives?2. How would you assess the success of the
course?3. What have you always wanted to do in a
course, but couldn’t?4. What outcomes do you value?5. What would a successful graduate of the
course “look like?”6. How is knowledge constructed in your field
and does your course reinforce this process?
7. How do your students construct knowledge?
