Course Development Programs
The CFDE offers programs to support faculty in the development of student-centered courses.
Support Student Growth One Point at a Time: Course Design for Flexibility and Choice!
Providing students with choice in how they accumulate and demonstrate knowledge, skills, and points throughout the semester can help increase motivation, interest, and connection to the material. It is a student-centered practice that is supported by principles from Universal Design, inclusive pedagogy, and motivation research. It provides structured flexibility giving students time to interact with the material at the pace they need.

Learning Design Lab
Is your department or program working on any curriculum or course development projects? We are here to help!
The Learning Design Lab provides support to departments/programs as they redesign high-enrollment courses or curriculums that focus on student-centered needs like transparency, engagement, equitable assessment, and accessibility. We will also partner with faculty who are offering interdisciplinary courses with multiple instructors.
