Hello Members of the TBL List: For some years now, Larry Michaelsen and I have realized the deep connection between *good course design* and *TBL*. If you understand learning-centered course design, you will understand why it is so important to have a good teaching strategy like TBL. Acting on the assumption that understanding good course design will help people interested in TBL, I want to give you information about a NEW WEBSITE ON COURSE DESIGN. 1. The *URL *for the website is: www.designlearning.org 2. It contains *multiple kinds of information and resources*: - Information on ways to learn the basics of good course design - Resources (handouts, ideas, short papers, etc.) that can help develop good course designs - Examples of good course design (we have a few posted; we hope people will submit more) - Ways to communicate with others: a listserv and a special topics forum - News and information about upcoming events (If this looks familiar, it is because we used the TBL website as a guide) 3. *Course Design Listserv* If you would like to sign up for the course design listserv, here is the link to go to for the listserv: https://lists.ou.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A0=DESIGNLEARNING-L Once here, click on: "Join or leave DESIGNLEARNING-L", and follow the prompts. I hope you will visit the website and explore the resources on it. My Best, Dee -- *********************** L.
