Please consider contributing your own course design, as an example that others can learn from. This is NOT the time to be modest; you should not decide whether your course design is a good one or not – let us decide that.
To contribute your course design to this webpage, chick here.
Here are some examples of course designs that have been reviewed and are considered to be good designs.
We have grouped them into four general categories, to make it easier for you find the ones you want to learn more about:
- Natural Sciences/Engineering/Mathematics
- Social Sciences/Business/Education
- Humanities/Fine Arts/Architecture
- Other
Each example includes contact information, in case you want to ask the teacher questions about the design of their course.
