- This course is intended for you as new and experienced faculty who are designing or re-designing, courses for the first time, and who want to ensure their course design is built on solid foundations.
- If you are to fully engage with the materials, activities and assignments, you can expect to spend between 10-11 hours on this course.
- The course includes the opportunity, entirely voluntarily, for you to share your draft intended learning outcomes for me to review and provide you with feedback.
- This course is based on nearly 30 years worth of in-house and invited workshops run across the world with colleagues from tertiary institutions.

Getting the blueprint of a course right at the outset will make a huge difference to both students and faculty. This course provides a solid foundation to enable you to write effective ILOs for your institutional and professional context. In doing so it will offer you a foundation for more meaningful assessment, and better structured and purposeful learning and teaching activities.
