D. Fowler, C. Sandoval & M. Macik, 2011; retrieved from www.cte.tamu.edu
Provides a very useful graphic and brief explanation of a 5-stage course design process. Stages include: course learning outcomes (what will students know, be able to do and value upon completion of the course), assessment (what evidence will we have of success), learning activities (how one will assist students in their learning), alignment and syllabus (do activities and assessments align with outcomes, do I communicate plans clearly to learners), and analysis and action (what is / isn’t working, what changes will I make).
