Resources for Faculty

You have your calendar in one hand and your content in the other. Are you ready to design your course?
Join CTL staff and Stanford faculty colleagues as we discuss strategies for course design that maximize student learning opportunities and help resolve conflict between content coverage and short calendars. Bring an existing course or ideas for a new course. We'll apply concepts from the November 9th discussion to course materials or syllabi on November 16. You will leave the sessions with insights and improvements specific to your own courses!

What previous faculty members have said about the workshops:
"Robyn is excellent at listening to a comment/concern and coming up with a half dozen ideas for addressing it. She always comes up with something I think will work. In fact, I've already implemented previous suggestions with much success."

"Perhaps the most significant thing for me was working backwards from the outcomes that I want to achieve... I've continued thinking it over and this is giving me a much clearer strategy for designing the course... the session was perfectly timed and was very useful."

"As I write the syllabus for my new course I continue to find the concepts and materials from the workshop quite helpful... At the end of the second meeting I left with the feeling that CTL must have a storehouse of useful materials and that we just got a taste in the workshop."

"After designing and teaching courses on my own over and over, it is very refreshing to take in all these additional interesting ideas about how to do it. Thanks!"
