Week 1: Overview
Welcome to CDLI’s Course Design Program! We are delighted that you can join us this quarter. This week we will talk about the context of the work we will be doing together over the next ten weeks as well as what you can expect during the process of developing courses with digital components.
Jesuit Education Online
One goal of this program is to confront perceptions of what, exactly, online education looks like. A common belief among faculty who have not taught online before is that an online course is inferior to an in-person course. Our hope is to inspire you to see an online environment not in terms of constraints, but in terms of possibilities. We strongly believe that the Ignatian Pedagogical Paradigm Download Ignatian Pedagogical Paradigm is the perfect approach to creating meaningful online learning.
Course Design is an opportunity to come together for an hour a week and talk about the craft of teaching with your colleagues. Together you will share your classroom experiences, brainstorm ideas, and teach each other new ways to engage students in online and offline spaces. Our workshop sessions contain very little "lecture"; generally you will be engaged in an activity.
