Spotlight on: Course Design | Academic Newsletter | Seneca Polytechnic

in the Spring 2017 issue

The key to Course Design at Seneca is meeting your course’s learning outcomes within the 14-week semester. As you plan your course, think about what you will “teach,” the opportunities that students will have to “practice” what they learn, and the ways that learning will be “assessed” to ensure that the course’s learning outcomes are achieved.

Steps in Course Design:

1. Locate and review Program Outcomes 
2. Complete a Curriculum Map 
3. Write SMART course learning outcomes:  
4. Design assessments that will be used to measure the course learning outcomes: Assessment 
5. Break outcomes into topics and create a course map: Outcomes to Topics to Course Map 
6. Select Course Resources  and draft a Lesson Plan
