Campus Workshops

The consultants in Dee Fink & Associates offer workshops of different lengths for colleges and universities: 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.
