Evidence-based Instruction
Do you want to explore using artificial intelligence (AI) to help you design courses that are aligned with your learning goals and meet the needs of your students? If so, join us for an AI Infused Course Design Institute. During this institute, you will learn how to prompt generative AI to help you with course design tasks such as generating expected learning objectives, creating assignments, and developing rubrics. There will also be opportunities to reflect on and critique GenAI responses.
Goal
During a Course Design Institute, participants gain an understanding of how to design a course based on a foundation of goals and outcomes; begin the actual work of course planning, working with a community of peers; and leave with the basic structure for a course and the beginnings of course materials such as a syllabus, assignment drafts, assessment tools and a course outline.
Participants should plan to spend 1-2 hours working on CDI related readings and projects before each session.
Learning Outcomes
Participants who successfully complete a CDI will be able to:
- Articulate and align course goals and learning outcomes in a given course.
- Design appropriate and effective evaluation and assessment tools for select learning outcomes.
- Make discipline specific decisions regarding course content.
- Organize content to support student achievement of learning outcomes.
- Evaluate which pedagogical tools and teaching styles will be most appropriate for the context, goals and outcomes of an individual course.
The CDI is a 4-day event that runs from 1:00 p.m. - 4:30 p.m. on the following dates: September 30, October 3, 7 & 10.
Apply here by September 15, 2025.
