[Cancelled] Workshop: Declutter your course!
Update 14 April: Unfortunately, this workshop is cancelled due to insufficient registrations.
Time for a spring clean of your course! This workshop offers practical tips, best (and worst!) practices, and ideas from a fellow course coordinator to help you streamline and re-align your course materials. If you're ready to declutter and plan ahead, this workshop is for you!
Using frameworks such as good-old Constructive Alignment, the UM vision on assessment, self-determination theory and the CCCS principles, but also new influences on education such as Universal Design for Learning and grappling with Generative AI, this workshop aims to support course coordinators to figure out what aspects of the course need to be freshened up or decluttered. By sharing your questions, concerns and solutions this workshop is highly collaborative in nature.
By the end of this workshop, participants will:
- have reconsidered the constructive alignment of the course they coordinate,
- have an idea which “old”/unnecessary course materials or readings from the course they coordinate have to be removed or replaced,
- have a plan for further refinement of the course they coordinate for the long term.
Who should attend: course coordinators or members of a course planning group.
Important: please bring your course materials (e.g. course manual, instructions, assignments, …) to the workshop.
This activity may count towards your Continuing Professional Development (CPD) if relevant to your situation.
