VPTL supports instruction through collaborative curriculum and course design. Our interdisciplinary team has broad experience bringing pedagogical principles into classrooms, blended classes, and fully online courses.
Areas of emphasis include:
- Goal-based design. Articulate specific learning goals and use them to design course strategies and activities.
- Engagement. Use effective and varied practices, such as active learning and social learning, to involve students in creating their own effective learning experiences.
- Inclusion. Collaborate to create and sustain an environment in which students from a variety of identities, backgrounds, and previous learning opportunities can thrive.
- Reflection. Productively assess student learning and evaluate courses for further improvement.
