The Colby, Bates, & Bowdoin (CBB) Course Design Experience (CDE) is a place for faculty and instructors to start the design of a new course or rethink the design of a pre-existing course. The CDE is a learner-centered experience that allows each participant to spend time working on the elements of their courses that need the most attention (Learning Goals, Assignments, Learning Activities) while engaging in conversation with the facilitation team, fellow educators and colleagues. Ultimately, this experience will help faculty and instructors to develop courses for in-person and online contexts that promote deep learning, support academic integrity, reflect the needs of diverse learners, and enhance the academic experience for all learners. Bowdoin Lead Facilitators: Katie Byrnes & Irina Popescu. Open to Colby, Bates and Bowdoin faculty members.
Tuesday-Wednesday-Thursday August 11-13, 3-day Intensive, on Zoom.
Live Sessions: 9-10am Webinar, 1-2pm Small group meetings; 3-4pm Reflection
