Introduction

Hello and welcome to the Course Design Companion Guide! Our team thought we would forego our traditional method of presentation and integrate a more engaged approach to learning about course design.

This pressbook has been designed to provide faculty members with a basic course design framework that can be applied to remote teaching courses, online courses, and even traditional face to face courses!

Readers will be introduced to the backward design strategy and provided with tips for developing and planning their courses. We’ve also provided course design templates as well as interactive writing/note-taking prompts to facilitate the course design process.
