课程设计

Careful thought and planning are essential to a great course design.Whether designing a course from scratch or preparing to adapt教育理论和原则中，以下步骤将帮助您开发一门一定能使学生学习最大化的课程。

步骤1：定义课程目标

确定目标 forthe course will clarify what you want the students to learn and accomplish. Having these course goals in mind will then help you make decisions about which content to include, which teaching methods to use, and what kinds of assignments and exams are appropriate.

考虑以下问题：

• What is the most important information students should learn and /or remember from this course?
• 学生应该在课程中获得什么技能？
• How does this course relate to other courses in the discipline? How, then, might you define the course goals accordingly (e.g., for an introductory, fundamental, or advanced course in the discipline)?

Step 2: Determine Course Content

• 选择要涵盖的主要主题。
• 削减并完善您的初始主题列表。
• 确定课程的结构；以逻辑顺序排列主题。
• Use modules to organize your information. Modules should include an overview page including an introduction, objectives, readings, lectures, activities 和作业。

Step 3: Developing Teaching Methods and Tools

• Think about how you will present the content.
• Select teaching methods and strategies appropriate for the class size and class format (online/hybrid).
• Decide whether or not you will incorporate technology 在your course, identify the specific goals that technology will help you reach if incorporated.
• Use a variety of teaching methods to accommodate students with different learning styles.
• 计划使用需要并衡量主动学生学习的教学方法。

Step 4: Determine How You Will Evaluate Student Learning

• Plan assignments and exams that meet the course goals.
• Consider assignments that will provide students with an opportunity to acquire and practice skills that are required for exams.

Step 5: Select Text(s) and Other Supplemental Materials

• Select texts and materials that are clear, easy to read and to understand.
• 选择一本教科书后，请与出版商联系以查看是否有可用的讲师资源。
• When adding supplemental materials remember to obey the copyright laws. You need to obtain permission to reprint or use published materials.

Step 6: Define Course Policies

• Be specific on grading including all assignments, papers, exams and class participation. Also, indicate the turnaround for the grading of all assignments and exams.
• Decide in advance how you will handle issues such as late work, request for assignment extensions or missed exams.
• 包括有关教学大纲（即窃和学术诚信）的所有课程政策，并计划在上课的第一天与学生进行审查。

Step 7: Develop the Course Schedule

• When preparing the schedule, consult the relevant academic calendars, and keep in mind major religious holidays and significant campus events (i.e. spring break).
• 确保强调考试日期，因为在大多数情况下，由于房间的可用性，重新安排它们的空间很少。
• 如果您正在教授混合动力课程，请确保正确指定了上课和在线见面的日子。

Step 8: Write the Course Syllabus

• 良好的教学大纲应包含（至少）以下信息：课程标题，先决条件；所需的文本和其他必需的材料（即Microsoft Office）；课程主题，主要作业和考试；关于评分，学术诚信，班级参与和较晚工作的课程政策；和教师的联系信息。
• Make sure that the information within the syllabus aligns with the course content in Canvas. For example, there should be consistency in both the grade weight percentages and course schedule.

Step 9: Refine the Course Design

• Course design is an iterative process, meaning that you can always go back at any step in the process to refine or improve on areas that are lacking.在计划和修改课程时，请记住遵守您的课程目标。您的课程目标是您的“北极星”，这将使您在整个课程设计过程中始终保持正轨。作为另一个提醒，请确保根据Bloom的分类法实现课程目标中的更高级别思维。
