Course Design Institutes
Dartmouth’s Course Design Institute (CDI) introduces an integrated course design process that promotes student-centered teaching and learning. CDI provides a foundation in current course design knowledge and – for those participating in the live institute – an applied workshop. Participants gain exposure to the theory and science of course design and evidence-based approaches in teaching and learning. This process can be used to develop a new course or redesign an existing course. While CDI may be most valuable for faculty who are new to Dartmouth, it is suitable for anyone interested in course design. For more information, see DCAL’s New Faculty Programs page.
Universal Design for Learning Institutes
Universal Design for Learning Institutes (UDLi) are are live, 3-day programs that offer faculty and instructors the opportunity to explore the universal design for learning (UDL) framework and create an implementation plan for using UDL to address barriers in their courses. Institute participants are eligible to apply for grant-funding to support their UDL implementation. For more information and to apply, see DCAL’s Universal Design for Learning Institute page.
