Building A Learning Pathway: An Interactive How-to Guide to Course Design

Abstract

Not all that long ago, one would have had great difficulty finding a book about how to design college courses.

College-level teaching has historically lived within what has been called an instruction-focused paradigm (Barr and Tagg, 1995). Within this paradigm, a college professor's primary task in the classroom was to deliver instruction literally to profess his or her knowledge of a particular discipline to students, who were expected to absorb the to-be-learned material.
