The Harriet W. Sheridan Center for Teaching and Learning

COEX Course Design Institute

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.

Participants are encouraged to co-design their course with a fellow faculty member, postdoc, graduate student, and/or undergraduate teaching assistant(s). Participants will also have the option to work with the Swearer Center to incorporate  elements of  Community-Based Learning and Research (CBLR) course designation. All disciplines are welcome to apply.
