HPED 531 Teaching Methods, Course Design, and Assessment
In this course, students develop the knowledge and skills needed to design, deliver, and assess effective courses and training programs for both in-person and online learning environments. Students discuss research on a variety of evidence-based, inclusive, equitable, learner-centered teaching strategies, including problem-based learning, discussion, interactive lecture, and other innovative approaches, as well as a variety of techniques for assessing learning, and will then apply this knowledge to designing a course and lesson plan using the backward design model. This course also includes an applied component in which enables the student to design, deliver, and assess a short online lesson for the class on a topic related to teaching methodology, design, and/or assessment.
