Universal Design for Learning

Introduction to Course Design

This course explores one of our favourite tools for course design—the Curriculum Alignment Framework (or, as we lovingly call it, a CAF). A CAF is a simple process educators can use to make meaningful course design decisions that align outcomes with instructional strategies and assessment. Based on Stiel & Lewchuck’s (2012) work, this tool should be the starting point for any learning experience design project.

Who should take this course?

Instructors, Teachers, Learning Experience Designers, Curriculum Developers, Instructional Designers

Introduction to Competency Based Education

This course offers an introduction to Competency-Based Education (CBE) and the features of a CBE program. You’ll learn when a competency-based approach is most appropriate, and when it might not be suitable. This will help you assess the readiness of your own program to be adapted or designed using a CBE approach.
