Documentation talk:Course Design Intensive/Facilitators Guidebook/CDI Learning Outcomes/Day 1

Theme: Building a Context: Starting With the “Why”?

Essential Question for Day 1: Why might students care about my course?'

Isabeau's preference is to have only the learning outcomes so people don't need to try to match the "focuses on" and "learning outcomes" part.

So, I'd replace the text that is indented with the text below:

Day 1 focuses on the following major themes:

Application of backward design approach

Understand how "big ideas" may be useful in guiding the design of your course.

Prioritize course level learning that aligns with your big ideas.

Evaluate and integrate learner-centered considerations into your course plan.

By the end of day 1, you will be able to:

Explain how the backward design concept applies to the design of your course

Articulate big ideas for your course

Describe a learner-centered approach to teaching

Begin to consider how to incorporate learner-centered design into your course

Offer and integrate feedback on course plans in progress.

replace with (I tweaked the last two points): Theme: Building a Context: Starting With the “Why”?
