You can use the sub-navigation on the left under "Course Design" to find how-to guides on learning objective, assessment, rubrics, and more. To improve your course design, feel free to reference this comprehensive course design checklist. An in-house guide to revising your course(s) is available upon request.
For paid professional development, you can sign up for LEAD self-paced and hybrid trainings. These are stipended opportunities for faculty that cover pedagogical and technical topics (Canvas, AI).
