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
