During June 4-6, 2024, the Sheridan Center hosted a 3-day COEX Course Design Institute to provide support for course development including professional training on course design based on emergent practices within the COEX model, individual consultation and feedback, a supportive cohort of peers, easily adaptable course materials, and standardized assessment of your course.

Problem solving is a skill you develop over time, but how do you teach it in a semester? The Problem-Solving Course Design Institute (PSCDI) is an opportunity for faculty, staff, postdocs, and graduate student teams* to (re)design assignments that engage students in the problem-solving process.

The Seminar on AI Literacy (SAIL) helps faculty and departments build critical AI literacy in their curricula by leveraging the expertise of discipline-specific teams of faculty, graduate students, and undergraduates. Through partnerships with students, instructors gain critical insights into how to design and achieve their course objectives in ways that engage student interests and perspectives.

Sheridan’s Equitable Learning Inquiry (ELI) Program provides resources and support to help faculty members investigate the extent to which student experiences and outcomes in foundational courses are equitable for students from different backgrounds and identity groups that have been historically underrepresented in academia or specific disciplines.
