Designing and Preparing for Asynchronous Courses
Thoughtful design and preparation are at the core of every great educational experience. Whether class participants meet together in one space or virtually from their own spaces, how they come together and the material they engage with is thoughtfully crafted by the instructor - even if students are subsequently engaged with curriculum planning. The design of learning experiences is integrally related to teaching the course, which is why these two faculty roles are linked in the Teaching Excellence Framework: Designer and Teacher.
