Expectations
•Who are you?
•Where are you from?

•Why are you here?
Dee Fink
BHAG•It is my hope that by the end of
the workshop you will...
•Be persuaded that course design is the most important single thing you can learn about teaching.
•Be able to design your courses more intentionally move toward Creating Significant Learning Environments.
Specific Goals• FOUNDATION: Understand the basic terms and
concepts
• APPLICATION: Be able to use the model of Integrated Course Design (ICD) and Backward Cesign
• INTEGRATION: Identify the relationship between what you are doing now as a teacher and the ideas of ICD ------continued
Specific Goals (cont.)
• HUMAN DIMENSION:
•SELF: Be more confident that you can do this
•OTHERS: Work with others to create more powerful designs
• CARING: Identify the value of course design in teaching
• LEARNING HOW TO LEARN: Know what else you want to learn about course design – and how to learn that.

Lecture•76% of the 172,000 faculty across
north america surveyed revealed that the lecture was their primary form of instruction (Finkelstein, Seal, & Schuster)
•Monitoring faculty reveals that 3 min out of 50 are actual discussion and most often at the end of class. (Nunn)
Significant Learning Environments
Are we teaching today’s students as we taught yesterday’s? Are we robbing them of tomorrow?

Challenges
•Lack of interest
•Poor preparation
•Poor retention of learning
•???

Dream Class•If you had a class that
could and would learn anything and everything you wanted them to learn:
•What is it that you would really like them to learn?
Example BHAG
Learners will identity technology innovations and embrace them as opportunities rather than challenges and proactively use those changes as catalysts to enhance their organizations learning environments.
