CDIxYOU

CDIxYOU is a self-paced, asynchronous version of our Summer Course Design Institute.

Overview

The CDIxYOU guides instructors step-by-step in creating a course where they can have confidence that all enrolled students will have the opportunity to achieve the course goals—no matter how rigorous or ambitious.

A new build is an invaluable opportunity to create a course that will work for everyone. Participants will learn leading-edge strategies of effective course design that prioritize activities that best promote student learning while also creating more efficient use of instructor time for their own sustained well-being.

To achieve that end, participants will follow a “backwards design” approach that leads them from first crafting meaningful learning outcomes to then creating the assessments aligned to those outcomes and, lastly, to sequencing activities aligned to the assessments and outcomes. Instructors who participate in the CDI can expect to leave with a Canvas-ready syllabus that includes a course map and student-centered course description and policies.

The CDIxYOU also includes tested Generative AI prompts for each stage of the course design process for instructors who are interested in experimenting with GAI as a course design partner.
