Annual National Workshop - May 20-22, 2011 - Minneapolis, MN

This coming spring, Dee Fink & Associates will again offer our two-and-a-half day workshop on Integrated Course Design on May 20-22, 2011. This year it will be held in Minneapolis, MN. Many campuses have been requesting this workshop nationally and internationally. This workshop will give college teachers from any campus the opportunity to learn about these ideas, apply them to one of their own courses, and receive feedback on their new course design. To learn more follow this link.

Campus Workshops

Starting in 2011, the Associates can lead workshops for your faculty on course design with the possibility of two different foci. The first is a general workshop on course design; the other is focused specifically on designing online or hybrid courses.

A. GENERAL WORKSHOP on “Designing Courses for Significant Learning”

The consultants in Dee Fink & Associates have been offering this workshop for several years, and can do for different time lengths: half-day, whole day, and two days.

The most common length is the half-day workshop. In this workshop, we can help workshop participants…

    • See the significance of course design within the array of tasks involved in teaching,
    • Identify their own “Dreams” for student learning,
    • Introduce the overall model of Integrated Course Design,
    • Work on understanding and taking the initial steps toward applying the key components, and
    • See what happens when these ideas are used effectively, by examining some actual case studies.

In the whole day workshop, the participants are able to do all the above and…

    • Do more application activities with the key components, and
    • Work in small groups to design a hypothetical course, and then compare their various designs.

In the two-day workshop, participants are able to do all the above and…

    • Apply these ideas to one of their own courses.
    • We can also answer questions that commonly arise when they get into the actual process of using these ideas.

B. SPECIFIC WORKSHOP on “DESIGNING ONLINE OR HYBRID COURSES”

This workshop in intended for people who will be designing online or hybrid courses. It includes training on the ideas and procedures associated with Integrated Course Design, and then goes on to address several issues connected to online instruction, e.g., determining navigational strategies, ensuring Access and Compliance, using media and technology, etc.
