• In January, we're looking at the instructional design or "teaching methods" of our courses.   This is the ways in which we choose to convey the content - sometimes that will be lectures, sometimes labs. It can also include elements of finer-grained design, such as specific techniques for teaching specific content - variables, loops etc.
  
• Things to think about:

1. why do I choose to teach using the methods I do?
2. for what purposes do I use certain methods (lectures, labs, exercises etc.)
3. could I use different methods? If so, what?

• In January please bring with you:

• an artifact that exemplifies the instructional design of your course (or an aspect of it)
• a document that describes how you articulate the content of your course with its delivery (that is, why your instructional design is appropriate to your content)
