What Do We Do?

We offer both WORKSHOPS and an ONLINE COURSE for college teachers on Integrated Course Design, a special way of designing courses that lead to greater student engagement and better student learning.  The conceptual framework for these workshops and courses is based on Dee Fink’s book, “Creating Significant Learning Experiences.” (Jossey-Bass, Updated Edition, 2013).

Workshops

We offer campus-based workshops.  For more information on these workshops, see the tab on "Workshops".

Online Course

In 2012 we began offering an online course on "Designing Courses for Significant Learning".  This offered anyone, anywhere, the opportunity to learn about the Taxonomy of Significant Learning and the model of Integrated Course Design (ICD).

In 2014, we modified this course to reduce the time and cost.  The current version of the course lasts 2 weeks, costs $495, and is licensed out to Intentional College Teaching who offers it throughout the year.

  • This is a Facilitated Course which means each cohort of participants receives regular, individualized feedback on his or her work from an experienced Facilitator.

For more information about the current operation of this course, see:  http://www.intentionalcollegeteaching.org.
