A thorough guide to course design.
This book has been designed for instructors in higher education or adult training who wish to develop a new course or revise an existing one. It adopts a practical, visual, and modular approach based on the principle of constructive alignment. At its heart is the canvas, a document containing all the major aspects of a course.
With its three-step approach and solid theoretical basis, Course Design encourages instructors to engage in a reflective practice that will allow them to define their vision of teaching, design or revise a course, and develop their teaching skills.
