I approach course planning using the “backwards design” which involves curriculum design by first establishing learning objectives. I then determine acceptable assessments, and then planning instruction and methods. I establish learning objectives by considering what students should know and learn by the end of a course. Next, I determine acceptable assessments that may be used to provide evidence of learning. Finally, I select the content, resources, and modes used to aid in student learning to meet course learning objectives.
