4 full days: Friday, April 21, AND Monday - Wednesday, April 24-26, 2006

Are you developing a new course or would you like to revise one of your current courses? This four-day workshop is designed to support you in the development of your course. By the end of the workshop, you will have a draft course syllabus and a plan for implementing new teaching strategies that you want to explore. The workshop has been developed in collaboration with faculty members from McGill University, where it has been offered for over 10 years.

During this workshop, you will:

• Explore an approach to course design consistent with your subject matter understanding.
• Work in small multi-disciplinary groups and benefit from peer feedback and self-evaluation as you prepare your course design.
• Experience and examine various teaching strategies including those enabled by technology.

We welcome faculty members who are developing "W", "Q", or "B" courses in support of our new Undergraduate Curriculum Initiative. The Task Force (UCITF) has offered to reimburse workshop fees for faculty developing these courses while taking part in this workshop.
