Improve your Teaching and Learning Design with Constructive Alignment

This workshop begins with an introduction to the fundamental concepts of purposeful lesson design, emphasizing the importance of clear, aligned learning outcomes. Participants will learn how to craft precise, measurable outcomes that set the stage for effective teaching. We’ll then delve into the integration of these outcomes with teaching activities and assessment methods, ensuring that each element reinforces and supports the others. Through a combination of theoretical insights and practical examples, you’ll gain the skills needed to create an engaging, student-centered learning experience that promotes deeper understanding and long-term retention.

By the end of the workshop, participants should be able to:

• explain the principles of Constructive Alignment and its significance in higher education.
• design teaching activities that effectively align with the defined learning objectives.
• develop assessment methods that accurately measure student achievement of learning outcomes
• assess the alignment between learning outcomes, teaching activities, and assessment methods in their classes.
• identify areas for improvement in their class design and implement revisions based on alignment evaluation.
