25
March2022
The Principle of Least Disruptive Course DesignThe inclusion of new or different technologies in course design, although well-intentioned, can adversely impact student learning if not accompanied by opportunities and resources that: Validate the appropriateness of digital tools and their purpose; Promote faculty-use competency;
Promote student-use competency; Provide guided application, and Allot ample time and resources for learning and engagement.
Faculty and course designers should embrace the new opportunities presented by the latest and greatest in digital innovation. At the same time, it is critically important to assure that students and faculty can use these tools and strategies in a seamless way and without sacrificing opportunities for learning and success. In this interactive session, we will review the principles of the least disruptive course design. Participants will also receive a document summarizing research related to this approach to course design.
