There are two resources that people can use to learn more about using Integrated Course Design to “create significant learning experiences” for students:

1. The first is the book by Dee Fink:Creating Significant Learning Experiences (Jossey-Bass, 2003). This can be ordered online either via Jossey-Bass or Amazon.com.


2. The second resource is a 37-page “Self-Directed Guide for Designing Courses for Significant Learning.” (click to download) This is intended as a “do it yourself handbook.”  It introduces each major step and then provides a workshop for applying that step to the design of a course. It is also frequently used as a pre-workshop reading assignment.  By reading the text (they don’t need to do the application exercises for this purpose), they get an initial overview of the basic ideas.  This allows the workshop leader to spend more workshop time on application exercises.
